Leak Detection Description
Each leak test is performed electronically. An underwater microphone will be used to locate the proximity of each leak. The leak will be proven by visual inspection with flourecent or black dye. Any repairs that can be done inside the pool using underwater epoxies, hydraulic cement, or butyl tape are included in the price of the leak test. Equipment leaks will be identified but may not be repaired at the agreed upon price.
Any major repairs such as broken line will result in additional charges.
An estimate of those charges will be provided after the leak test is completed
All leak tests are warranted for 90 days from the last service call. Major repairs are warranted for one year from completion.
NOTE: We will not ask our technicians to enter a contaminated (green pool), and the pool water needs to be at normal operating level in order to perform a full leak test.
** Visually inspect equipment area prior to scheduling a test, if the equipment is leaking, it should be repaired prior to scheduling a leak test.
After the Test
It is important for the pool/spa owner to monitor the water level for 48 hours after any repair. If patched, the pool should sit still for 12 hours, no swimming, and the pump should be off. If the water level is below normal, the pool or spa should be filled to normal level, then monitored over a period of 48 hours.
