Pool Leaking at the Equipment Pad in Lake San Marcos, CA
A Lake San Marcos 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. Lake San Marcos runs on Vallecitos Water District at 13-15 gpg, which is hard water. Around here that means original 1970s-80s equipment and plaster reaching the end of their service life, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Lake San Marcos and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
