Pool Leaking at the Equipment Pad in La Mesa, CA
A La Mesa pool showing water leaking at the equipment pad usually has a short list of likely causes. Drips and puddles at the pad trace to worn seals, cracked unions, or a leaking filter band rather than the pool shell. La Mesa runs on Helix Water District at 16-20 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means scale-worn equipment and hillside drainage stress on aging shells, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. Call and we will connect you with a La Mesa pool pro who finds the real cause, not a guess.
