Paul from Pool Leaks came today to detect a suspected leak in my pool, and quickly got into it and found the culprit, a leaking pool light electrical cable port. Repairs to the detected crack were done and I'm a satisfied customer, no subsequent drop in water levels today confirming the leak was found and dealt with. Can't thank the team enough for handling my booking and detection/repair. Peace of mind and very happy with the outcome. Thank you!

If uncertain that your water loss is due to a leak or evaporation we suggest you first do an evaporation assessment bucket test. Fill a bucket or ice-cream container with pool water to within 50mm of the top and place near the pool in a similar environment (i.e. sun, wind etc or preferably on a pool step)
Operate normally for approx 24 hours then measure the loss in both. The difference between the two water levels is due to a leak. * * If no difference, you have no leak. For best results it’s better if the pool is not used for swimming during this period.
Prices for leak detection can vary considerably because of the variables involved. It is however much cheaper than the continuous re-filling of pool water, chemicals and salt.
Leak detection is a highly specialised field using sophisticated equipment and highly trained technicians to locate most leaks with little disruption to your paving, landscaping etc. Often relatively simple repairs can be made during our initial visit to resolve the problem.
You could be losing the equivalent of a pool full of water every year, which could easily be 50,000 litres of water that has to be paid for. Leaks generally become worse and if not detected and resolved may undermine the pool’s sand base and foundations.
There is no need for anyone to be present, provided we have access to do the job. We will phone you for credit card payment when the detection is complete.

When your pool starts losing water, one of the first questions worth answering is: is this coming from the pool itself, or from the pump, pipes, and equipment around it?

Once you suspect your pool has a leak, the next decision matters almost as much as the leak itself: who do you call? Not all leak detection services are equal, and choosing
