More pool leak questions

Quick answers to questions we are often asked. All 56 are on our pool leak FAQ page.

Can aimflow jets leak?

Yes. Aimflow jets and return fittings can leak around the fitting body, pipe connection or surrounding pool surface. If the leak is active, dye may be pulled into the joint. If the pipe behind the fitting is damaged, pressure testing may also show loss on the return line.

Can aimflow jets be replaced?

Yes. Aimflow fittings can often be replaced or resealed, but the pipe connection behind the fitting must also be considered. If the return line itself is leaking, replacing only the front fitting may not solve the water loss.

Can a pool leak only at a certain water level?

Yes. A pool may drop until it reaches the level of the leak and then slow down or stop. This often happens with leaks at lights, weirs, return jets, tile lines, cracks or surface defects. The stopping level is an important clue because it tells the technician which fittings and areas require closer dye testing.

What is dye testing?

Dye testing uses coloured dye near suspected leak points such as lights, weirs, aimflow jets, cracks, steps, mosaics and surface defects. If the dye is pulled into an opening, it indicates active water movement through that point. Dye testing is useful for visible or accessible leaks, but it must be done carefully with the water calm and circulation off.

Why does my pool lose water when the pump is running?

Water loss that becomes worse while the pump is running often points to the pressure side of the circulation system. This can include return pipes, aimflow fittings, valves, filter connections or pipework under paving. When the system is under pressure, water can be forced out through a crack or failed joint. Pressure testing helps confirm whether the line is holding or losing pressure.

Can a leak be found without breaking paving?

Often, yes. Testing can usually be done before any breaking. Pressure testing, dye testing and tracer gas can narrow the suspected area first. If excavation is required, it should be targeted and based on evidence rather than guesswork.
