Leak or evaporation?

The bucket test

  1. 1Fill a bucket with pool water and set it on the first or second step.
  2. 2Mark the water level inside the bucket and on the pool wall.
  3. 3Run the pump as usual for 24 hours, then compare the two drops.

The bucket only loses what evaporates. If the pool drops more than the bucket, the difference is a leak — book leak detection.

Bartonville water profile

Bartonville properties utilize a mix of municipal water systems (serving newer developments) and well water systems (serving established estates). Municipal water areas feature relatively balanced chemistry (300-400 ppm TDS) supporting straightforward maintenance. Well water properties experience elevated mineral content (600-900 ppm TDS) requiring specialized treatment. Many upscale properties feature water softeners or iron filters helping manage groundwater challenges. The water chemistry variability means customized service approaches for different properties, something our experienced Bartonville service team manages seamlessly.

Bartonville pool & equipment mix

Bartonville pools are predominantly upscale installations reflecting significant homeowner investment in resort-style and luxury amenities. Common features include premium finishes (tile, plaster, pebble), sophisticated automation systems (Pentair, Jandy, or Hayward), integrated lighting with color-changing LED capability, water features (grottos, sheer descent, spillovers), dedicated spa areas or hot tub integration, heating systems, variable-speed pumps with energy optimization, and in some cases, indoor facilities or advanced circulation systems. Pool sizes range from 20,000 to 50,000+ gallons on larger estates. Design integration with overall property landscape and architecture is paramount—pools are design focal points rather than afterthoughts.

Bartonville leak detection questions

How do I tell evaporation from a real leak on my Bartonville pool?
Standard bucket test: fill a 5-gallon bucket with pool water, mark the inside and outside levels, place it on the top step (don't sink it), wait 24 hours with the pump off. Same drop inside and outside = evaporation. Pool drops faster = leak. In Denton County, summer evaporation is roughly 1/4 inch per day; Bartonville pools losing more than 3/8 inch consistently are leaking. Call us once you've confirmed — we'll pressure-test from there.
What kind of pool leaks are most common in Bartonville?
In well-water communities like Bartonville, calcium-stressed equipment pads leak first — pump seals, heater unions, multiport valves. We also see more skimmer-throat cracks here than average (well water + freeze cycles is hard on bonded skimmer concrete). Foundation shifting after a wet/dry cycle in Denton County clay soil triggers a lot of plumbing leaks that show up identically in Argyle.
Will you fix the leak the same day you find it on my Bartonville pool?
Equipment-pad plumbing leaks — almost always same-day in Bartonville. Skimmer/return-line plumbing pressure failures, often same-day if the line is accessible. Pool-shell cracks or structural leaks: detection same-day, repair scheduled separately (some require draining or epoxy cure time). We quote the repair before we start, and the detection is credited toward the repair if you book in 14 days.
