Since we knew the light was a suspect area, we checked it right away with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/light-tester.html\">Light Tester<\/a> dome and it drew dye. After jumping in the pool and opening up the light we were able to pinpoint the leak between the light conduit and light niche with dye. At that point, the family showed up wanting to swim since it was a hot day. Since we had already found and fixed a leak we skipped the final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/the-leakalyzer.html\">Leakalyzer<\/a> test\u2026 of course we got a call back one week later to let us know that the pool was still losing water.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KCSeRLhOxuQ?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What could have been a quick job turned into a second trip. The second time at the pool we were able to find a liner leak and a skimmer bowl leak with more thorough investigation. We made sure to run our final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/the-leakalyzer.html\">Leakalyzer<\/a> test the second time around after fixing the leaks and didn\u2019t get any further call backs. It\u2019s a good reminder that just because you find one leak doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve found them all!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Skimmer-Repair-640x220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Skimmer-Repair-640x220.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Skimmer-Repair-150x52.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Skimmer-Repair-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.leaktools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Skimmer-Repair.jpg 757w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Learnings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Must be thorough in leak detection!
