Could a Greathouse pool leak hide behind auto-fill?

Yes. Auto-fill may replace water as fast as it is lost. Turn it off during a controlled bucket test and record pool and bucket levels.

Does a wet pool equipment pad mean the deck line failed?

No. Pump seals, filter connections, valves, heaters, and drains should be inspected before buried runs are blamed.

How do I distinguish irrigation from a house leak?

Observe the meter with irrigation off, then compare the house shutoff when accessible. The change in flow helps choose the next test.

Do you need to drain the pool to investigate?

Usually the first steps are level comparison, accessible equipment checks, circuit isolation, and targeted tests. Draining is not the default starting point.

Greathouse Water Leak Detection in Midland, TX

Local water-loss clues

One property can have several water circuits

The HOA describes an established Greathouse community, while the City locates Greathouse Park on Greathouse Avenue. A household meter may include indoor use, landscaping, and pool auto-fill. When these are observed at different times, the source becomes much easier to narrow than with a single high bill.

Pool level looks normal

An auto-fill can keep the waterline steady while adding water. Turn it off for a controlled bucket comparison before blaming evaporation or shell fittings.

A weak irrigation zone

Check the valve box and sprinkler heads, then isolate the zone. A leaking lateral may not leave a surface puddle.

House meter keeps turning

With pool fill and irrigation off, compare the house shutoff and meter. Toilets, water heaters, and the private line remain possibilities.

How to separate Greathouse water use

01 / Schedule

Record pump, pool auto-fill, and irrigation run times.

02 / Compare

Use a pool bucket test and a no-use meter reading on separate periods.

03 / Focus

Pressure-test or listen to the circuit that remains suspect.
