Detecting Pool Leaks Made Simple
Suspect water loss at your property’s pool? Here’s a quick way maintenance can check. Start by marking the skimmer waterline with a pencil to measure normal evaporation. If levels drop faster, it may be a leak. Using a dye pen, you can easily test cracks, joints, light housings, and return jets. Found an issue? Call a professional for deeper repairs. Protect your property and conserve water with this simple routine.
