Pool Losing Water in Rancho Bernardo, CA
If you are dealing with a pool that keeps losing water in Rancho Bernardo, you are not alone. More than about a quarter inch a day beyond normal evaporation usually means a plumbing, shell, or fitting leak. Because Rancho Bernardo pools contend with aging 1970s-80s pool equipment and plaster nearing the end of service life, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Rancho Bernardo and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
