Swimming pool leak detection checklist

  • Before having a leak detection performed, verify your rate of water loss. Use the bucket test and the water loss calculator to determine your rate of water loss.
  • Before the leak specialist arrives to perform the leak detection, your pool should be clean and clear, at the normal full level. Cloudy water is a sign of bacterial infestation and the pool should not be entered by anyone.
  • Information needed to give an accurate swimming pool leak detection quote:
    • How many pumps and skimmers does the pool have?
    • Is a spa or water feature attached?
    • What are the construction materials? Gunite, vinyl, fiberglass, pebbletech, or above-ground?
    • What is your pool's chemical system? Chlorine or salt-water system?
    • Is there an auto-fill system?
    • Is there an automatic cleaning system? If so, what kind?
    • How many light fixtures are in the pool or spa?

ePIPE Epoxy Pipe Lining:

American Leak Detection has the newest technology in both non-invasive leak detection and repair. ePipe Lining is the newest addition to our options for repairing leaks in pressurized plumbing lines. This proven technology has been used by homeowners, the federal government, hospitals, Universities, major hotels, resort facilities, apartments, and industrial facilities.

The patented ACE DuraFlo® ePIPE system achieves restoration of leaky pipes with virtually no destruction in half the time as compared to a conventional full repipe. Your newly restored, leak free pipes, will never corrode, pit or scale. Invest in the ACE DuraFlo® system to repair and prevent costly water leaks that could lead to even more costly slab leaks.

A permenant, safe solution for potable water systems, ACE DuraFlo® uses only pipe lining and coating materials that are NSF approved and UPC listed for safe use and consumption. Once restored, your system will no longer leach lead or copper contaminants. Your water stays pure, clean and safe to drink.

ACE DURFlo® has successfully used its proven pipe relining system to save building owners and homeowners thousands of dollars, while also saving occupants the messy, noisy, and destructive experience of a conventional repipe.
