Is Your Pool Losing Water? Learn How Leak Detection!

Pools are made for fun, not frustration. But nothing is more frustrating than constantly refilling your pool, watching the water level drop, or dealing with sky-high water bills. If your pool is losing water and you can’t explain why—it’s time to take action. Fast.

The problem might not be evaporation or a minor spill. It could be a leak, and leaks don’t fix themselves. They only get worse, damaging your pool’s structure, equipment, and the ground around it.

That’s where Crystal Blue Pool Services comes in. Based in Coconut Creek, Florida, they specialize in professional pool leak detection and repair, using advanced tools and proven techniques to locate and stop leaks before they turn into disasters.

How to Know if You Have a Pool Leak

Not every drop in water level means there’s a leak. Pools naturally lose water due to splash-out, backwashing, and evaporation—especially in the Florida sun. But if you’re refilling your pool more than once a week, something’s off.

Watch for these red flags:

Water level drops more than 1/4 inch per day
Wet spots around the pool deck or yard
Cracks in the pool shell or tiles
Air bubbles coming out of the return lines
Equipment losing prime or sucking in air
Unusual algae growth due to poor circulation
High water bills with no clear explanation

If any of these sound familiar, don’t guess—get it inspected by professionals. Crystal Blue Pool Services has the tools and training to find leaks fast.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Pool Leak

A pool leak isn’t just annoying—it’s dangerous and expensive.

Structural Damage: Water leaking into the soil can erode the foundation around your pool, leading to cracks and collapse.
Wasted Water: A leak as small as a pinhole can waste thousands of gallons a month.
Equipment Strain: Leaks affect water levels, which can cause pumps and filters to suck in air, overheat, and break down.
Higher Bills: You pay more on your water and electricity—just to lose it through a leak.
Increased Chemical Use: Constantly replacing water messes with chemical balance, forcing you to spend more on treatment.

A fast fix now saves you a fortune later. And that’s exactly what Crystal Blue Pool Services is here for.

How Does Crystal Blue Detect Pool Leaks?

Forget guessing and digging. Crystal Blue uses a step-by-step, non-invasive leak detection process that finds the problem without damaging your pool.

Here’s how they do it:

Initial Inspection – They ask key questions about water loss and inspect for visual signs.
Pressure Testing – They test the plumbing lines to check for pressure drops that signal underground leaks.
Dye Testing – Using special dyes, they identify leaks in tiles, skimmers, lights, and return lines.
Acoustic Equipment – Sensitive listening tools help them hear escaping water from underground leaks.
Underwater Scanning – For pools that need it, scuba-equipped techs inspect from inside.
Pinpoint Marking – Once the leak is found, it’s clearly marked for quick repair.

This high-tech method ensures fast results without unnecessary destruction or guesswork.
