I’ve been very unlucky with my pool and am now on my 3rd leak.

I wasn’t living there and someone went in to change all the pipework but they did an appalling job which caused just as many problems. I made the mistake of not being there when the work was being done.

Since then it’s all been changed again to rigid hi grade pipe on two different occasions. I thought this was sorted. 

Unfortunately it is leaking again from the bottom drain somewhere where it was totally dug up and replaced on one of the two occasions. So here we go again!

The person who replaced the pipe work the second time is now ill and cannot come back to sort so I need someone well recommended who can come and pressure test and potentially find the leak. I have no doubt that the imprinted concrete will have to be dug up again.

Apparently it’s being topped up every two days so is no doubt still costing me a fortune as being like this for two months.

Has anyone got any recommendations who doesn’t take the “Michael”?

Can’t believe how unlucky I’ve been with this pool. Feel like filling it in!!

Regards to all.

Hi Yes i have a suggestion either fill it with concrete or replace it with rubber lining or buy a prefabricated one like hot tubs are made from, believe me all convencial pools are a problem do not think it is only you being unlucky, a survay has been recently done and it showed 7 out of every 10 pools in Spain are left empty due to problems and upkeep

Leaktech is the only reliable GUARATEED repair specialist to go to!   If they don´t fix it then they come back and sort it until you are happy!

I´m a satisfied customer  - -no more than that.  They are advertised in most freebies.
