School is almost out, summer is around the corner, and BBQs and pool parties are almost here. But before your focus turns completely to fun, it is important to make sure your pool is ready for the season.
Routine pool maintenance is not only about cleaning the water or checking equipment. The pipes behind your pool system play a major role in keeping everything running efficiently. These hidden pipes act like the blood vessels of your pool, carrying water throughout the system. When they are not checked and maintained, small leaks can lead to major water loss, higher costs, and potential property damage.
Approximately one in 20 pools has a leak.
For homeowners in drought-prone areas, a pool pipe leak can be more than an inconvenience. Depending on your municipality, you may face restrictions on how often or how much you can refill your pool. Some areas may also issue fines when leaks are not identified and repaired.
Because water-use rules vary by city and state, pool owners should check their local regulations and monitor their pool for signs of abnormal water loss.
Even a small pinhole leak can waste a significant amount of water.
A pinhole leak can lose around 970 gallons of water from your pool in just one day. If the leak is not discovered in time, that can add up to approximately 30,000 gallons of wasted water in one month or 360,000 gallons of wasted water in one year.
That kind of water loss can affect your utility bill, your property, and your community’s water conservation efforts.
Your pool pipe system may need to be inspected if:
Catching a leak early can help prevent unnecessary water waste and reduce the need for more invasive repairs.
ACE DuraFlo’s ePIPE technology provides leak protection for pool and property water pipes using a patented epoxy coating process. Instead of digging up landscaping, pool areas, or sections of the home, ePIPE is applied inside the existing pipe system.
This non-invasive process coats the inside of the pipes with a protective epoxy barrier. Once cured, the coating helps protect the pipe system and reduce the risk of future leaks.
Thousands of property owners around the world have chosen ePIPE to restore and protect their pipe systems without the mess, stress, and destruction often associated with traditional pipe replacement.
ePIPE is designed to help restore pipes from the inside, making it a strong option for pool owners who want to avoid unnecessary digging or disruption.
Benefits include:
Only our patented ePIPE technology has the quickest return-to-service time in the industry, with a two-hour pipe system downtime. You could wait days, but why would you?
If your pool is losing an abnormal amount of water or your pool is more than 10 years old, it may be time to have the pipe system inspected.
ACE DuraFlo can help determine whether ePIPE’s patented leak protection technology is the right solution for your pool or property water pipes.
