The best pool leak detection tools
Tools don’t make the man but a man must have the right tools to accurately perform a swimming pool leak detection. Some tools are secrets of the trade when it comes to the patented Aquaman Leak Detection method of leak solvin’. When it comes to swimming pool leak detection there are more companies performing leak detections now more than ever so pay attention to what a legitimate leak detection specialist will have.. The tools of the trade are a must but experience and aquatic capabilities in summer and winter are an absolute must. Some jobs require plugging up an old drain and being down at the bottom of a pool for an extended period of time ..so having the correct breathing device is important whether tank or a hookah is used. Having this setup can save an entire pools water supply. Don’t be impressed by specialized equipment nothing beats the accuracy of the old school method of diving a pool.
Do you guys use cameras in the plumbing? This is a very common question we are asked..the answer is ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Pool plumbing is very small and many leak detections we rely on an electronic listening device and specialized pressure testing methods to locate a leak underground. The methods we use to perform an accurate leak detection have been utilized and refined in Southern California and Florida for over a decade and are highly successful and effective.
Pressure testing equipment is very important for performing a thorough leak detection. Various companies make specialized plugs and gauges designed for testing swimming pool plumbing. Some pools have custom plumbing larger than most so it is always important to note the size of the plumbing when performing or scheduling a leak detection. There is nothing worse than driving a long distance to a job only to learn you don’t have the right equipment to perform the leak detection.
Wetsuits, dive weights, flashlights, screwdrivers, mask, mask de fog, ear plugs, dye …ALL very important to the task at hand so one can see and not get water in his/her ears and some jobs have specialized screws so having the correct screwdriver to take the cover off a leaking drain is of great importance. The right wetsuit is seemingly life and death in the wintertime..and right along with this comes having the right amount of dive weights for the job! In wintertime more weights are needed to make one less buoyant to weigh down all that neoprene to keep warm.
So what is the best tool for leak detection? An experienced leak detector with his mask dive weights, dye, and screwdriver beats anything else so look for experience. Look for THE Aquaman Team! We look forward to it!
