How Do I Know if I Have a Leak

Has the water in your pool slowly been draining, or sinking down?

While it’s normal for a pool to lose some water through evaporation, splash out, and backwash, you’ll gain back most of that water through rainfall.

If you’re routinely adding an inch or more of water each week (an hour of running the garden hose), you probably have a leak.

If you do suspect a leak, ensure that you have the leak professionally repaired before your pool experiences structural damage. If old age has led to cracks within your pool liner, we recommend that the whole liner be replaced.

If you suspect a leak within your pool pipes, our professionals are able to diagnose and repair that problem as well. Thanks to our modern, state-of-the-art leak detection equipment, we won’t have to dig up your yard to find small leaks.

Why Should I Repair my Pool Liner?

Having an efficient pool liner can save you money, and stress in the long-run. Even the most discreet hole your liner, one as small as a pen point, can cause hundreds or thousands of liters of water to leak from your pool each week.

When you have a leak of this size, the pressure from the pool water causes water to leak from these small holes at a rapid rate. Not only does this significantly increase your water and chemical costs, but it can also result in structural damage to the pool itself if not resolved as soon as possible.

  UV pools is a fantastic choice for your pool reno. We had a tired liner to be replaced and they ensured everything was in working order, walked us through all our options or add-ons and were always quick to respond to any communication, even post install. When crews were on site they were quick, respectful and even went above and beyond to help me fix a related issue that was not in the project scope. This is who you want to do your pool - I'm so happy with mine and my experience!

  When we opened our pool we discovered there was a leak somewhere. We called a couple of pool companies and UV Pools responded quickly despite the busy time of year. We spoke to Julie who was very helpful. She arranged to have a technician come out quickly and they were able to solve our problem! We really appreciate the prompt and courteous service and highly recommend them if you need help with your pool. Mark and Roberta

FAQs

What pool liners are available and what thickness are they?

In-ground liners are typically 30mil thick. This is the industry standard for the longest lasting liner. A thicker would be less elastic and more likely to tear whereas a thinner liner will be less resistant to punctures.

What is under my pool liner?

Usually a sand/cement floor that should be hard and smooth or a vermiculite/cement base that is usually found on older pools.

When should I replace my pool liner?

Unfortunately, most swimming pool owners wait until their vinyl pool liner fails before they decide to replace it. The loss of pool water through pool liner failure, often results in significant damage to the underlying structure of the swimming pool. It is wise to replace your pool liner proactively when it is nearing the end of its useful life. If your liner has rips longer than a couple inches or if your liner is losing elasticity and becoming brittle (look for horizontal cracking above the water line) you should replace it.

What warranty do you offer on your pool liners?

All our pool liners carry a lifetime prorated warranty covering manufacturing defects and seam separation. Our services carry a 3 year warranty on workmanship.

After my new liner is installed, how soon can I swim?

If the pool has been resurfaced (usually) it takes three days for the new bottom to harden. Touching the bottom sooner could leave permanent dents underneath the liner. You can swim right away if you can avoid touching the bottom, but if you can't then you'll need to hold off for three days before swimming.

My pool liner has wrinkles, is that normal?

Normal? No. The liner should be wrinkle free for the entire useful life of the liner. Wrinkles indicate a problem. The most likely causes of wrinkles are: 1. The liner was poorly installed. 2. Excess ground water has shifted the liner. 3. Low water PH has expanded the liner. It's OK to live with the wrinkles as long as they aren't causing a problem with vacuuming or other pool maintenance. More importantly, the cause of the wrinkles should be addressed. Call us for a sump pit install or ground water control system. If the wrinkles are causing maintenance issues or you just can't stand the sight of them, most of the time this means a liner replacement.

When can you start?

After signing an agreement, lead time will typically range from 1 week to 1 month. Liners are custom measured then ordered, manufactured, and shipped specifically for your pool. We book on a first come, first serve basis.

How can I make my pool liner last longer?

The best way to get more life out of your vinyl swimming pool liner is to take good care of it. In particular, make sure to:

Always use a pool cover in the winter (only on in ground pools).
Always maintain proper pool chemistry.
Always keep the pool full of water when it's in use to prevent sun damage.
Keep the part of the liner that's above the water clean by using a pool vinyl liner cleaner.
Use a solar blanket when the swimming pool is not in use.
Never pump the water out of the pool lower than your winterizing level.
You could add a ultra violet sanitation system to greatly reduce chemical usage which will substantially extend the life of your liner.
If you follow these simple guidelines you will be sure to enjoy your vinyl-lined swimming pool for many, many years.

My pool liner has wrinkles from winter time

Having wrinkles and a floating liner can be an indicator of excessive ground water or a hole in the vinyl pool liner. The wrinkles can sometimes be removed with the use of a plunger, other times the water can be lowered and the wrinkles removed. The best place to start is by having the liner fixed or the water from behind the liner removed. The liner will then go down and back into place. If you are left with wrinkles, do not pump your pool out dry and try to start over, this usually results in a damaged liner. Contact a pool professional for further assistance.

Can the “bath tub” ring be cleaned off my liner?

Yes. Using a product called TLC made by GLB (not hardware store TLC cleaner). It can be used to clean stairs, coping and it's safe for the liner. It is an acid so be careful not to make any contact with your concrete or it will etch it.

My pool liner is floating, what should I do?

Keep your pool full of water. Rain, run-off water, or a leaky pool liner can float your pool liner. Excess rain water that has floated your liner will eventually soak into the ground and your liner will go back down. If your pool has been losing water prior to your liner floating, then it is likely that a pool leak is causing your liner to float. The problem should get fixed as soon as possible and that will cure the liner floating problem. Most likely your liner has a hole in it or your underground pipes could be leaking (less common). We specialize in vinyl liner repair even under water!
