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 Pecan Square, TX

Pecan Square is an award-winning master-planned community built around a modern interpretation of a classic Texas town square. As one of the newest and most rapidly expanding neighborhoods in Northlake/Justin, it features hundreds of brand-new luxury pools built by top-tier DFW contractors. Because these are new construction pools, initial startup chemistry and equipment commissioning is critical to protect the fresh plaster. We specialize in taking over pools post-construction and ensuring the warranty remains intact.

Pecan Square leak detection questions

How do I tell evaporation from a real leak on my Pecan Square 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; Pecan Square 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 Pecan Square?
In Pecan Square, 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 Northlake.
Will you fix the leak the same day you find it on my Pecan Square pool?
Equipment-pad plumbing leaks — almost always same-day in Pecan Square. 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.
