Pool Leaking at the Equipment Pad in Scripps Ranch, CA

Drips and puddles at the pad trace to worn seals, cracked unions, or a leaking filter band rather than the pool shell. In Scripps Ranch, that is worth diagnosing before it turns into a bigger repair. Scripps Ranch runs on City of San Diego Public Utilities at 12-14 gpg, which is hard water. Around here that means 1990s master-plan pools reaching their first major resurfacing and equipment cycle, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. The pros we work with cover Scripps Ranch and can usually get out within the week.
