Signs Your Pool Needs Repairs
Learn to identify common signs that indicate your pool requires repairs.
Unexplained Water Loss
Monitor pool water levels for sudden drops, which could indicate leaks. A pool should lose no more than about a quarter-inch of water per day due to evaporation.
Check for pooling water near the pool or soggy spots in the yard. These could signal underground leaks that might require professional inspection and repair.
Cracked or Damaged Pool Surface
Inspect the pool surface for cracks or chips in the plaster or tiles. These imperfections can lead to water leaks and further structural damage if not addressed promptly.
Consider having small cracks repaired as soon as they appear to prevent them from worsening and requiring more extensive repair work.
Faulty Equipment
Listen for unusual sounds from the pump or filter system, which could indicate mechanical failure. Also, watch for noticeable decreases in water circulation.
Check for signs of rust, wear, or electrical issues in your equipment. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend equipment lifespan and prevent costly replacements.
