If you turn off pool, plug up all returns, and your water drops below the skimmers, chances are you need a diver to fully inspect your pool and make needed repair.
Waiting for water to drop?
You can speed up the process by "backwashing." Quickly bring the water to the bottom of skimmers. Turn off pump, plug returns , and observe...
If you're losing a good amount of water you will know very quickly.
If you notice the water drops below skimmers- you need a diver- give us a call.
If the water stops, you will need to contact your swimming pool company or look closer yourself.
Depending on your comfort level/ability, you may wish to try a few more steps on your own.
Some will have their pool company to check all or try it on your own. Others will want a diver to inspect and repair any and all underwater problems.
1. Plug skimmers, returns, jacuzzi steps, Polaris, bottom drain (if possible), etc.
2. If leak stops; obviously your leak is in the plumbing, whether you eliminate (1) item at a time or pressure test- there is no need for a diver!
3. If leak continues, however stops at the bottom of the skimmers, check the following
A) "Possible cracked skimmer"- (with plugs in place) you may find the water has dropped in (1) skimmer- you have found your leak.
B) "Skimmer gaskets"- you may need new gaskets, a cracked face plate, a cut/hole in liner surrounding skimmer, or the leak could be through a screw hole. Check all carefully.
4. If leak continues, you want to make sure that the return gaskets are good and the faceplates are not cracked. You may want to see if the water drops below fittings.
If the leak continues; CALL US @ 631-460-6007 and we will physically inspect every inch of the pool and repair the leak for a reasonable fee.
We do not pressure test, repair pipes, replace skimmer/return parts, etc.... that is the work of pool companies! We are the Professional Diving Company, who can repair almost anything underwater, safely, in the right way! Give us a call!
