Pool Leaking at the Equipment Pad in La Jolla, CA

If you are dealing with water leaking at the equipment pad in La Jolla, you are not alone. Drips and puddles at the pad trace to worn seals, cracked unions, or a leaking filter band rather than the pool shell. Because La Jolla pools contend with salt-spray corrosion on premium clifftop equipment and finishes, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. Call and we will connect you with a La Jolla pool pro who finds the real cause, not a guess.

Likely causes in La Jolla

  • A worn pump shaft seal or lid o-ring
  • A cracked or loose PVC union at the pad
  • A leaking filter clamp band or tank o-ring

What to check before you call

  • Check the pump lid, unions, and filter band for drips
