Each plumbing run gets pressure tested independently, with electronic listening devices to locate the leak. Mission Valley water comes from City of San Diego Public Utilities at 12-14 gpg (hard). The usual local condition is commercial hotel and HOA pool dominant, with valley heat extending the season.

What do Mission Valley homeowners ask about leak detection?

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

Bucket test. Fill a bucket with pool water and sit it on the first step. Mark both levels. After 24-48 hours, if the pool dropped more than the bucket, you have a leak. If they match, it's evaporation.

Can you find leaks without digging up my deck?

Yes, almost always. Electronic detection locates leaks through the deck, so digging only happens once the leak is confirmed and the repair needs access.

How much water loss is normal for a pool in Mission Valley?

In Mission Valley, 1/4 inch per day from evaporation is normal in summer. More than that, especially with heavy wind, is worth a leak test.

What is the water like for a pool in Mission Valley?

Mission Valley is served by City of San Diego Public Utilities. Hardness runs 12-14 gpg (hard). City notes list this as the usual local condition: commercial hotel and HOA pool dominant, with valley heat extending the season.
