Dealing with “Non-Leak Connections to Ground”:
Although it is always best to remove connections to ground that are not leaks
either physically (as in removing ladders) or by covering (as with light cover), this
is not always possible. There will be situations where the strongest “Leak Track”
in the pool is actually going to a light or stair gasket screw that is not necessarily
leaking. To find leaks in these situations move the probe close to the non-leak
connection to ground, then turn the striped end of the probe away and survey the
vinyl moving away from the non-leak connection. If you pick up a signal pointing
away from the strong non-leak connection it is probably a leak.
In situations where there are other connections to ground such as mentioned
above it will be necessary to survey the entire pool in a tighter pattern than would
be necessary is such other connections were not present.
When checking for leaks in close proximity to “non-leak connections” use the
“low” setting.
