Do I have a leak?
Most pools will lose from as little as 1/2 to 2 inches of water in a week, all from evaporation and/or the result of swimming.
If you are losing more than 1 inch in a week we recommend doing a bucket test to determine if there is a pool leak.
Bucket Test Procedure:
1. Bring the pool water to its normal level
2. Fill an empty bucket with pool water to about one inch from the top of bucket.
(By filling the bucket close to the top you are ensuring that air movement over the surface of the bucket will similar to that of the pool.)
3. Place the bucket on the first or second step of the pool. To keep it from floating away it may be necessary to place a few bricks or rocks into the bucket.
(By placing the bucket in the pool water you are ensuring that the water temperature of each will be similar).
4. Mark the water level inside the bucket.
5. Mark the water level of the pool on the outside of the bucket, on the pool wall, or skimmer face plate.
6. Operate the pool for 24 hours as it had been operated when a leak was first suspected.
7. After 24 hours, compare the two levels. If the pool water (outside mark) goes down more than the inside water level, there is probably a leak.



Did you know it is illegal to hire an un-licensed contractor for pool repairs?

CP and RP - A "swimming pool/spa servicing contractor" means a contractor whose scope of work involves the servicing and repair of any swimming pool or hot tub or spa. The scope of such work may include any necessary piping and repairs, replacement and repair of existing equipment, or installation of new additional equipment as necessary.
The scope of such work includes:

• the reinstallation of tile and coping, repair and replacement of all piping, filter equipment, and chemical feeders of any type, replastering, reconstruction of decks, and reinstallation or addition of pool heaters;
• the installation, construction, modification, substantial or complete disassembly, or replacement of equipment permanently attached to and associated with the pool or spa for the purpose of water treatment or cleaning of the pool or spa requires licensure; and
• however, the usage of such equipment for the purposes of water treatment or cleaning shall not require licensure unless the usage involves construction, modification, substantial or complete disassembly, or replacement of such equipment.

Construction Industry Licensing Board's website

If your pool companies license says "pool cleaning" there is a good chance they are not licensed to do ANY repair. So protect yourself and your property, hire a licensed company for any work.

This building was covered with green algae . Reef Property Services cleaned 3 buildings in this office park with NO pressure and safely removed all the mold.	Our process is so safe, that the awning was added to the building right BEFORE we cleaned it. There was NO damage to the awning or anything else.
This canopy was full of algae. One visit by Reef and the canopy is free of all algae and mold. Our low pressure cleaning process is just that, below 200 psi.	We test our machines to ensure we have the proper psi in order to deliver the best cleaning your property deserves.

This screen looked like it needed a new paint job....	but it was cleaned with no damage.
Rust stains are a huge problem with well water sprinklers	After Reef safely removed the stain.
