Solve if your pool in La Palma (Cartagena) is losing water

Have you noticed that the water level in your pool is dropping more than usual? If you observe a loss greater than 0.5 cm per day, it is very likely that you are facing a real leak and not natural evaporation, something common in our area, especially during hot months. This can not only lead to a skyrocketing water bill but can also damage the surrounding land of your pool, affecting its structure and that of your property.

Alarm signals in pools

There are several symptoms that can alert you to a serious problem. If you see that the automatic refill of your pool is constantly working or notice wet areas in the garden or pool beach, you may be facing a leak. Other signs include the presence of air in the pumps, visible cracks in the tiles, and sinking of the surrounding land. In La Palma (Cartagena), with the climate and geographical characteristics, it is vital to be attentive to these signals.

Where does a pool leak? Diagnosis

Leaks in pools can be due to various causes. In the pool basin, we can find structural cracks or a broken liner. Accessories such as broken skimmers due to ground movements or poorly sealed lights are also common culprits. Additionally, the supply, suction, or bottom pipes may suffer breaks due to ground settlement or roots, something especially relevant in areas like La Palma where vegetation can be more aggressive to these structures.

Important risks

Ignoring a leak can lead to devastating consequences. An exorbitant water bill is just the beginning. If action is not taken in time, there may be irreversible structural damage, as water can wash away the ground under the pool, causing sinking or even fracturing the pool. Furthermore, you could face problems with neighbors if there are leaks affecting adjacent properties.
