Have you noticed your pool water looking a little low? You may start to wonder if your pool is leaking. The answer is likely “yes”, but the good news is that it’s fixable if you act immediately and contact a Pool Repair Specialist in Navarre FL like Splash Pools!
The first, most obvious sign of pool leaking is lower than usual water levels. Keep in mind evaporation accounts for 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water a day based on the weather. In Florida the sun may cause as much as 1/2 an inch of water loss during the dryer summer days. To be sure, we recommend calling us and we’ll come check it out to give you a peace of mind.

If you are using your pool often and splashing the water around, it can also lower your water level. But this is usually not the case as leaks are consistent. Your pool or hot tub has a recommended water level line that you can watch when the pool is not in use and the pump is off to confirm if the low water level is from pool usage or a consistent leak.
The second top sign of a leaking pool is excessive water around the pool, whether it is on the deck, grass or landscape area. A leak in an underground plumbing line will allow water to escape into the soil. This eventually causes flooding and other problems if it’s not fixed.
Water on the ground around or below an above-ground pool is a sure sign of a leak. If you notice any water around your pool area, contact us immediately!
Thirdly, we recommend checking for water around the pump. This can be the result of a leaking hose or bad part. Air in the circulation system is another indication of a leak in the pump and plumbing system. A circulating fountain or waterfall may cause a similar problem. Call us to inspect the parts of your pool or spa tub.
Immediate repairs may be necessary to keep the pump and motor system working efficiently. The sooner you contact a Navarre Pool Professional the better the outcome will be.
