Measure the water loss
If it is safe for the pool and equipment, run a 24-hour bucket test and write down the pool drop and bucket drop separately.
Spa Leak Detection in Phoenix, AZ
Spa systems add plumbing complexity, heat, jets, air controls, spillways, and fittings that can mask the real source of water loss. Echo isolates the spa from the pool where possible and tests the areas most likely to fail.

Symptoms
Problems this service helps solve
- The spa drops faster than the pool.
- Water loss changes when the spa is isolated.
- The spillway, jet fittings, light, or tile line shows movement.
- Air or inconsistent jet performance appears with water loss.
What Echo tests
- Static and running-condition comparison.
- Dye testing around jets, lights, skimmers, and spillways.
- Pressure testing on spa plumbing sections when appropriate.
- Inspection of valves and equipment-side connections that affect spa behavior.
What to expect
- Spa testing may require isolating modes and valves.
- The final recommendation separates likely shell/fitting issues from plumbing issues.
- Attached spas are evaluated as part of the larger pool system.
What the test can and cannot determine
- Some concealed spa plumbing cannot be fully confirmed without access.
- Heat, covers, spillovers, and operation schedules can affect measured water loss.

Before the visit
Useful details to have ready
Good notes help Echo choose the right tests sooner. They do not need to be perfect, and they should never put the pool finish, pump, or anyone's safety at risk.
Use the evaporation checkerNote how the system was running
Record whether the pump, spa, spillway, water features, heater, or autofill were on during the measurement period.
Photograph visible clues
Take pictures of wet soil, deck cracks, loose fittings, air in the pump basket, equipment moisture, and the water level where loss slows.
Keep recent changes clear
List recent repairs, resurfacing, storms, backwashing, draining, refilling, or plumbing work so the appointment starts with useful context.
Common questions
Can a spa leak look like a pool leak?
Yes. Water shared between an attached spa and pool can make the source confusing until the spa is isolated and tested.
Do you pressure test spa plumbing?
Yes, when the findings support it. Pressure testing can help isolate hidden leaks in jet, suction, return, and other spa plumbing lines.
