If you find that you’re losing more water than you should be, odds are good that there’s a leak. But when it comes to where pool leaks are most likely to happen, and can a robot pool cleaner help you find one? Yes — and understanding the common trouble spots takes time and money spent on needless repairs.

An excellent pool l robotic pool cleaner, pool vacuum, or pool cleaning robot can keep your system running well as well as help in spotting early signs of leaks in widely-used areas.

Most Populare Pool Leak Locations to look out for

The most common area for a pool leak is around the skimmer. The seal between the skimmer and the pool shell can deteriorate with time. Check out Movement Concrete pools, in particular, can shift slightly because of expansion and contraction.

There are other places to look for:

  • Return lines and main drain fittings
  • The pool light housing
  • The pool itself (cracks, areas of wear and tear)
  • Hook ups to your pool boost pump

Regular maintenance using tools like vacuum cleaner for pool or robot pool vacuum can help clean debris that might obscure cracks or wear in these areas.

How Does a Robot Pool Cleaner Help Detect Leaks?

“Next-generation” cleaners such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro and Beatbot AquaSense 2 even offer early warning properties as well as cleaning. Their intelligent navigation systems sense surface irregularities, and some models report diagnostics so you know it when it has experienced unexpected pressure drops, or resistance changes.

And whether that’s wall climbing pool vacuum or a robot pool cleaner, both of those devices can:

  • Inspect the condition of the tile lines or surfaces
  • Keep problem areas in the light
  • Promote better filtration and help prevent near leak area clogging

Signs You Might Have a Leak

But how do you know if your pool is leaking?

  • More than 1/4 inch water loss per day
  • advice for use in wet area immediately around Pool Booster pump or plumbing
  • Air bubbles from return jets
  • More common refilling of water without splashing

It is also easier to spot leaks in a clean pool. That is precisely why regularly using a maytronics pool cleaner or other robot pool system can be so beneficial.

If you have algae buildup, it may mean there’s stagnant water due to insufficient circulation. Additionally, give the pool a good ‘sweep’ with an algae pool vacuum cleaner and see if exactly the same location always grows the algae: it might indicate a very slow leek.

Leak Prevention Begins With Cleanliness

The better you take care of your water, the less likely you are to have something lurking beneath the surface. Consistent use of:

  • Skimmer baskets
  • Pool robotic pool cleaner
  • Pool vacuum robot

AND will prevent you from the wear + tear and you will be able to notice the subtle changes earlier.

Plus, the investment in a high-quality robot pool cleaner diminishes manual wear and tear from scrubbing and brushing—so the life of your pool’s surface is extended.

Conclusion

Well then, where is the most often area to find a pool leak on your swimming pool? Near the skimmer, followed behind in order by return fittings and structural cracks. Thankfully, with the help of regular cleaning and examination with a robot pool cleaner, you can catch these issues before they turn into major concerns.

Items such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro and the Beatbot AquaSense 2 integrate leak detection into the regular operation of a pool. Add smart tools and a watchful eye and you’ll steer clear of most typical repair fumbles and keep a pool in top-notch condition.
