Pool Leak Detection & Repair

Detect and Pinpoint Pool Leaks with Dye Products

The first step in any effective swimming pool leak detection process is visually confirming the leak’s exact location. This is where a high-quality pool leak dye becomes your most valuable tool. Forget guesswork; these highly concentrated dyes allow you to see the problem in real time. Simply turn off your pump and filter to still the water, then use a precision syringe to release a small amount of dye near a suspected crack, fitting, or light fixture. 

The dye will be drawn directly into the leak, creating a clear visual trail that pinpoints the exact point of water loss. This method is incredibly effective for finding problems in liners, skimmer boxes, and return jets, making the initial stage of pool dye leak detection fast and accurate.

Seal Cracks and Plug Small Leaks with Repair Putty

Once you have identified the source of the leak, a permanent fix is the next priority. A strong, waterproof repair putty is the go-to solution for sealing cracks and small holes without draining your pool. 

We stock two-part epoxy putties designed specifically for underwater applications, allowing you to knead the components together and apply them directly to the problem area. The material cures to a rock-hard, waterproof seal that bonds tenaciously to concrete, fibreglass, and most plastics. 

This makes it ideal for patching up everything from hairline cracks in the pool shell to leaks around fittings and lights. This immediate, durable repair stops water loss on the spot, preventing a minor issue from turning into a major structural problem.

Stop Leaks with Reliable Rubber Expansion Plugs

Sometimes, the leak isn’t in the pool shell but hidden within the plumbing system. To effectively diagnose these issues, you need to isolate different sections of your pipework. This is where rubber expansion plugs become essential pieces of pool leak detection equipment. By inserting a plug into a pipe and tightening the wingnut, you create a secure, watertight seal that stops the flow of water. 

This allows you to perform pressure tests on individual lines to determine if the skimmer, main drain, or return lines are compromised. These versatile pool leak detectors are indispensable for any serious pool pipe leak detection task, giving you the control needed to confidently identify the faulty part of your plumbing network.

Manage Water Pressure Using Hydrostatic Valves and Tools

Beyond typical wear and tear, leaks can be caused by powerful external forces, like groundwater pressure. A hydrostatic valve, located at the bottom of your main drain, is a critical safety component designed to prevent this. 

It acts as a one-way gate, opening to relieve excessive groundwater pressure that could otherwise lift or crack your pool shell from beneath. A faulty or clogged valve can fail to do its job, leading to catastrophic damage. 

Our range includes high-quality replacement valves and the specific tools required for their removal and installation. Managing this component is a key part of preventative maintenance and a crucial check during any thorough leak detection pool investigation.
