Specialist Leak Investigation Services

Every swimming pool or spa is likely to start leaking at some point in its life. An un-repaired leak can result in hundreds of gallons of water lost per day. In addition to the replacement cost of the water, leaks in your pool will increase chemical demands, and may lead to more serious problems.

 

 

Liner Replacement                                                          Price on consultation

A new liner may be required to resolve leaks or other problems with your existing liner, or you may simply wish to refresh the look of your pool without a full refurbishment. Liners are made to fit your pool exactly and are available in a wide range of patterns. Please see sample below.

 

 



 

Filter Media Change

Filter media is a sharp and jagged material used in swimming pool filters to trap any unwanted particles and substances within the water. Over time, the filter media rounds off and becomes less effective, preventing some of the particles and bacteria from being removed. It is therefore recommended to change your media at the advised regular intervals depending on media type, which is 3-5 years for sand and 7-9 years for AFM, depending on filter use.

 

Sand change includes :       From £180 + VAT (depends on filter size)

 

 

Removal of sand from the filter

Checking of internal workings of the filter

Advice regarding worn parts (which can be supplied and fitted at the time)

Pressure testing                              £50 + VAT per line tested

Pressure testing is used to find leaks in pipework anywhere from the plant equipment to the pool. At the Pool Men we have modern pressure testing equipment that will identify where any leaks are in order for us to determine any remedial work required, for which we will then provide a free of charge written quotation

 

Liner leak detection                                               £300 + VAT

At the Pool Men we use the Electronic leak trak detection system to accurately identify where your liner leaks are and how they can be repaired. On request we can provide an accurate drawing specifically to your pool to indicate leaks found.
