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.

About leak detection in Flower Mound, TX

Flower Mound stands as one of DFW's premier residential communities, with nearly 79,000 residents spread across dozens of distinct neighborhoods ranging from established areas developed in the 1990s to brand-new master-planned communities coming online today. The geographic spread and diversity of Flower Mound presents unique service challenges—something we've mastered through dedicated routing and local expertise. The community benefits from beautiful natural features including mature trees, rolling terrain, and proximity to Grapevine Lake, which creates both blessing and curse for pool owners. The abundance of native trees means spectacular fall foliage and natural landscaping, but also means significant leaf and debris management requirements, especially in autumn months. Many pools in established neighborhoods like Bridlewood, Wellington, Stone Creek, and Tour 18 were installed 10-20 years ago and are reaching the point where aging equipment needs optimization or replacement. Municipal water from DFW Water supplies most of Flower Mound, providing reliable, relatively balanced water chemistry compared to well-water communities. However, the lake's proximity and the area's moisture levels mean managing algae pressure and pool chemistry requires consistent attention. Our extensive Flower Mound experience means we understand which neighborhoods need extra attention during which seasons, where equipment tends to age predictably, and how to manage the unique seasonal dynamics of this large, diverse community.

Flower Mound water profile

Flower Mound is served by DFW Water (formerly North Texas Municipal Water District), supplying municipal water with moderate mineral content and good consistency. Total Dissolved Solids average 300-400 ppm. The community's proximity to Grapevine Lake and abundance of moisture means algae pressure can be seasonal, particularly in summer and early fall. The mature landscaping throughout the community creates leaf debris that affects water chemistry, requiring more frequent skimming and attention during fall. Municipal water chemistry is generally favorable for pool maintenance, though chlorine demand increases during peak summer heat and during algae pressure seasons.

Flower Mound pool & equipment mix

Flower Mound features remarkable diversity in pool types reflecting the area's wide range of ages and price points. Established neighborhoods contain classic plaster pools with single-speed pumps and sand filters, many featuring original equipment from installation. Newer developments showcase modern pebble finishes, cartridge filtration, variable-speed pumps, and automation systems. Luxury homes throughout the community often feature resort-style installations with spas, water features, lighting systems, and salt chlorine generators. Pool sizes range from 8,000 gallons in compact urban lots to 30,000+ gallon resort-style installations.

Flower Mound leak detection questions

How do I tell evaporation from a real leak on my Flower Mound 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; Flower Mound 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 Flower Mound?
In Flower Mound, the order is usually: (1) equipment-pad unions and valves on older pads (10+ year valves are usually shot), (2) skimmer-throat hairline cracks, (3) light-niche conduit leaks, (4) plaster or pebble cracking at the bond beam. 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 Flower Mound pool?
Equipment-pad plumbing leaks — almost always same-day in Flower Mound. 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.
