Leak Detection in Tarneit

Tarneit is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Melbourne’s west, about 25 km from the CBD. It falls under Wyndham City Council, postcode 3029. Melbourne’s western suburbs have lots of newer estates with modern pools, and hot northerly winds carry dust across from the open plains.

In Tarneit, hot and windy days push evaporation up, so it is easy to mistake a leak for normal water loss, or the other way round. Pinpointing the leak first means the repair is quick and nothing is dug up unnecessarily.

Under Victorian rules, any pool or spa that can hold more than 30 cm of water must be registered with Wyndham City Council, with a barrier compliance certificate lodged every four years. As Tarneit is outside our usual Gippsland service area, give us a call first to check availability and travel for your job.

Pool Leak Detection Questions from Tarneit Pool Owners

How do I know if my pool is leaking?
Try a bucket test: put a bucket of pool water on the step, mark both levels and compare after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

How much water loss is normal?
A few millimetres a day is normal evaporation in hot, windy weather. A steady drop of more than that, especially overnight or in mild weather, points to a leak.

How do you find the leak?
We check the skimmer, returns and lights, dye-test suspect spots, and pressure-test the underground lines to narrow it down.
