Title: Swimming pool leak
Post by: MigMan on May 25, 2017, 19:20:10 PM
Hi, does anyone know a specialist in swimming pool leaks. I thought it was one of the lights but now I'm not so sure. Rather than taking wild guesses I need some one with a dye kit I have heard theses are very good, oh and preferably some one that knows what there doing lol. Please PM me if any one can help many thanks Migman.

Hi Rodger
Hope you guys are well (apart from the pool)
Easy first observation ....turn off automatic top up (if you have one) and wait !!
The water will drop to the level off the leak,  ie skimmers, returns (jets that put water back in pool)
or lights etc and will give you an indication of the level (height) of the leak in relation to the Filter/ pump equipment etc

Hope this makes sense you will then know where to proceed with regards to repairs
Send a pm if you need any more help

Regards Dave

Hi long time no hear, yes already done that, it indicated one of the lights as the level stopped 20mm below the top of the light rim about the same height as the cable exit in the back. so replaced both grommets as a back up silicone them as well. Filled the pool and its still loosing water. !!!!!!!

Hi

We recently had a leak, and couldn't locate it. We bought a bottle of Fix a Leak, 45 euros from the pool shop next to Longos.  Tipped it into the skimmer, run the pumps on recycle for 24 hours and hey presto leak fixed. No problems since.
