How to repair your swimming pool
- Before considering how to repair a swimming pool we first must find out why it is not working or why the pool is loosing water
- First thing is to check the power supply is working correctly.
- The pump may have been damaged. The seals on the pump may have been shot
- Check valves, filter, heater etc.
- Check for water on the floor of the plant room and areas from the pool to the plant room where the ground/grass maybe wet, mushy, and greener looking than the surrounding area
- Is there air bubbles or dirt coming back to the pool through the outlets? This could show, that air is being sucked into the pool via a crack or broken connection in the pipe work or poorly fitting pump and filter lids
- Check the for cracks. Even very tiny cracks can lead to substantial lose of water
- Has there been a hard frost recently? Frost can cause pipes and pool plant to crack and also causes ground movement
- Or the opposite Has the ground around the pool dried out causing the subsoil to shrink which in turn can cause subsidence.
- Has there been any recent building work close to the pool? This too could affect the pool structure and foundations
Repairing a concrete swimming pool
- With swimming pool repairs no one knows for sure if a repair will actually fix the problem, the question is this. “Could a leak appear elsewhere in the structure? Or for that matter somewhere in the plumbing
- There are many possibilities why a crack has appeared in a structure and this may (if required) need further investigation
- Throwing good money after bad. May we suggest you use other options Instead of trying to repair a leak and hoping the pool repair will fix the leak? Have a liner conversion! Your concrete pool converted to a liner pool. One method is to use on-site lining. Another option is a purpose made liner using side mounted liner-lock system... Nearly there...

Repairing swimming pools underwater
Leaks may be repaired using “Leakmaster flexible sealer and pool leak repair”
All swimming pools lose a little water from time to time
However you’ll go to use the pool one day and notice the water level looks somewhat lower than than is normal.
You get that feeling this may have the beginnings of a leak somewhere in the pool and you need to find that leak and repair it fast before it gets worse...
You may discount the swimming pools losing some water through evaporation, water splashing and cleaning,, vacuuming the pool water straight to waste and backwashing the filter
.
There is also a water gain from rain. (Usually through the winter season), So you discount that as well
So as you have noticed the water level seems lower than normal then it’s time to investigate
It is certainly worth spending some hours and money trying to find out if the drop in water level.is occurring “naturally” or there is an actual pool leak that need repairing
A pool is a watertight tank that should not lose water, however seals gaskets, sealants, valves etc. will age and become defective while other parts of your pool may shift and settle or just wear out
.
The pool can leak through anywhere. It could be the fittings or accessories, the plumbing system, filter, pump, or even right through the pool shell.
It is important to repair leaks, not only to save water, heat, and chemicals, but also to prevent undermining the pools structural components and causing subsidence.
Even causing potential problem on nearby buildings.
Your swimming pool is leaking, but where do you start to look for it? Need some guidence? Ask a pool expert.
After concluding your own investigations and you cannot find the problem then call in the pool experts Tel 01600 861 851
