Swimming pool maintenance and repairs need to be done regularly to prevent any damages to the concrete. It’s important to be aware of the electrical components attached to your swimming pool to avoid any health hazards and prolong the life of your swimming pool.
Here are a few common swimming pool leaks and ways to prevent them.
1. Overgrown Trees
When an old tree and its roots start to invade the concrete of your swimming pool, it can harm the pool equipment and structure of the swimming pool. It’s recommended to build your swimming pool away from the trees to prevent cracks and damages. You can also remove the tree and plant it farther away to prevent your swimming pool from leaking.
2. Wear And Tear Of Full Equipment
When your pool becomes quite, old your pool’s structure deteriorates and it causes leaks overtime. Usually, the pool pump that pumps the water through the pressure is the source of the leaks and the water can drip from there. Most people apply a sealant, which forms a waterproof layer to prevent water leaks, but it wears out over time and can cause leaks as well. You need to observe your pool regularly to detect any leaks and repair them immediately.
3. Rapid Changes In Temperature
When the winter season arrives, the water freezes and expands in the swimming pool area, which can lead to cracks and leaks as the equipment is not flexible to handle the expansion. During the summer season, the fluctuation of the temperature causes the concrete to expand due to the heat. This expansion and contraction can cause tiny cracks, which can lead to leakage. The cracks need to be filled or repaired to prevent water leakage and it’s advised to drain out your swimming pool during the winters.
4. Chemical Imbalance
Chemicals are added to the pool to keep it clean, and it’s important to balance them so that the water doesn’t become too acidic or too alkaline. If the pH level is not balanced, the water can damage the pool equipment and the foundation. It can also harm other components attached to the pool, causing leakage.
5. Shifting Foundation
The ground around the swimming pool and the foundation continued to shift after your swimming pool is built. As it settles down, the soil shifts around the pool structure, which can result in cracks and leakage.
