Pool Leaking at the Equipment Pad in Rancho Bernardo, CA
Drips and puddles at the pad trace to worn seals, cracked unions, or a leaking filter band rather than the pool shell. In Rancho Bernardo, that is worth diagnosing before it turns into a bigger repair. Rancho Bernardo runs on City of San Diego at 12-14 gpg, which is hard water. Around here that means aging 1970s-80s pool equipment and plaster nearing the end of 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 Rancho Bernardo and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
