Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?

In Austin's summer heat, pools can lose up to a quarter-inch per day to evaporation alone. The simplest test is the bucket method: fill a bucket to match your pool level, set it on the step, and compare levels after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

Can you find leaks without digging up my yard?

Yes. We use pressure testing, dye injection, and electronic listening to pinpoint leaks before any excavation. In most cases we can identify the exact location without touching your deck or landscaping. Digging only happens at the confirmed leak point.

How long does a leak detection visit take?

A typical leak search takes two to four hours, depending on pool size and plumbing complexity. We aim to identify the source in a single visit so you can make a repair decision right away.

Why is my Cedar Park pool's pH always high?

Cedar Park's municipal water supply runs naturally high in alkalinity, which constantly pushes pH upward. Left unchecked, high pH reduces chlorine effectiveness and causes cloudy water. We add muriatic acid in controlled doses each visit to keep pH in the ideal 7.4 to 7.6 range.

My pool was built with the house — is the equipment good enough?

Often, no. Many Cedar Park builders install the minimum-spec equipment to hit a price point. Undersized pumps, single-speed motors, and thin cartridge filters are common. We'll evaluate your setup and let you know if anything should be upgraded — especially if you're spending more on energy than you need to.
