Pool Dye Testing in Frisco, TX
In Frisco’s newer pools, leaks can appear in unexpected places. Settlement stresses components that would normally last decades. Dye testing helps us pinpoint exactly where water is escaping, which is essential when the usual assumptions do not apply.
How We Use Dye Testing
We introduce dye near suspected leak points in still water and watch its behavior. Active leaks pull dye visibly—you can actually see the water escaping. We test skimmers, returns, lights, cracks, and any other potential weak points.
Where We Use Dye Testing
- Skimmer throats where the skimmer meets the pool wall
- Return fittings where jets penetrate the shell
- Light niches and fixture housings
- Main drain covers and housing seals
- Visible cracks in the shell, floor, or steps
- Tile and coping joints where waterproofing may have failed
What Dye Testing Cannot Do
Dye testing requires visible access to leak locations. It works well for shell penetrations and visible cracks but cannot detect leaks in underground plumbing. We use pressure testing for those.
How It Works
Perparation
Our technicians assess your pool’s water levels and clean the area around potential leaks for accurate testing.
Dye Application
Non-toxic dye is gently applied to suspected areas to trace and reveal hidden leaks.
Observation
The dye naturally flows toward the leak, allowing us to identify its exact location.
Accurate Reporting
We provide clear, precise results to guide targeted repairs and eliminate unnecessary guesswork.
DIY Dye Testing Tips
If you want to try dye testing your Frisco pool, get proper leak detection dye—it is denser than food coloring and works much better. Test with pump off and water completely still. Get close to suspected areas and watch for any dye movement.
