Pool Losing Water in Alpine, CA
A Alpine pool showing a pool that keeps losing water usually has a short list of likely causes. More than about a quarter inch a day beyond normal evaporation usually means a plumbing, shell, or fitting leak. Local conditions matter: in and around Alpine Village, the driver worth knowing is well water mineral buildup and cold-night freeze stress wearing out pumps and heaters early. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Alpine and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
