We test existing pools as well as pools under construction, both concrete and fibreglass pools.
When an existing pool is pressure tested, we use a tracer gas, which enables us to pinpoint the leak from the surface. This minimizes damage to paving or tiles when being repaired. Saving time and money.
Most pools that have a water leak, actually leak from the pipe work underground.
We pressure test the plumbing on swimming pools under construction before the pipework is covered up and encased in concrete in order to prevent having to do a repair after all the paving and tiling have been laid.
This pool has a total of 13 inlets and outlets from which leaks can develop.
The system was tested from the pool all the way back to the filter and pump
system, approx 15 meters away from the pool.
One of the inlets on the pool, had a leak problem which would have been
under the concrete and paving had it been closed over before it was detected.
The leak was found while pressure testing the system and was repaired by
the contractor before the pipework was closed up and encased in concrete.
This saved the client from endless frustration and inconvenience and the
contractor thousands of dollars of remedial work.
