Solution — "My swimming pool won't hold water"

Swimming Pool Waterproofing

A swimming pool that is losing water is a problem that is often misdiagnosed. The water level drops, and the first assumption is that the pool is leaking — but the water can be lost to evaporation, to the backwash, to the filter, or to a leak in the pipework, and the leak can be in the pool shell, the joints, or the fittings. We need to find out where the water is going before we recommend a repair. The first step is to test the pool. We measure the water loss over a period of time, and we compare it to the expected evaporation for the conditions. We also test the pipework, the filter, and the backwash, because a leak in the pipework can lose as much water as a leak in the pool. If the water loss is in the pool, we need to find the exact location of the leak. A pool can leak through the shell, through the joints, through the cracks, or through the fittings. The shell is the most common source of leaks, and the cracks in the shell are the most common path. We can find the cracks by a dye test, and we can repair them with a polyurethane injection that is applied from the inside of the pool, without draining the pool. For a pool that is leaking through the shell, we use a cementitious coating that is applied to the inside of the pool. The coating is a waterproofing system that is bonded to the concrete, and it is designed to be used under the tiles or the paint. The coating is applied to the prepared shell, and it is detailed at the joints, the fittings, and the penetrations. We also look at the joints. The expansion joints in the pool are the most common point of failure, and they need to be sealed with a flexible sealant that can move with the pool. The sealant is applied to the joint, and it is covered with the coating, so the joint is protected. The result is a pool that holds water, a pool that is protected, and a pool that is safe. We document the system, we provide the specification, and we stand behind the work. The first thing we do is look at the pool. The pool is the structure that is the water, and the pool is the structure that is the leak. We look at the pool, the shell, and the fittings, and we find the cause of the problem. The shell of the pool is the first thing we check. The shell is the concrete that is the pool, and the shell is the concrete that is the water. We check the shell, the cracks, and the joints, and we find the path of the water. The fittings of the pool are the next thing we check. The fittings are the lights, the skimmers, and the returns, and the fittings are the points that are the water. We check the fittings, the seals, and the gaskets, and we find the path of the water. The result is a pool that is the water, a pool that is the leak, and a pool that is the protected. We find the path of the water, and we stop the water. The first thing we do is look at the pool.
