Full Technical Process

Evaporation Baseline

Water loss is compared against expected evaporation to confirm abnormal loss.

Visual Shell Inspection

The shell, fittings, lights, skimmers and visible equipment are checked.

Line Isolation

Pool plumbing lines are isolated to separate suction, return, cleaner and feature systems.

Pressure Testing

Each line is pressure tested to confirm whether pressure loss exists.

Acoustic Tracing

Underground plumbing leaks are traced using listening equipment.

Dye Testing

Dye is used to identify water movement through cracks, fittings or shell defects.
