Hydro-static Valve. Also known as a Hydro-valve it prevents ground-water pressure from raising the pool or causing movement. The hydrostatic valve prevents this by allowing ground-water from your surrounding yard to flow into the pool and relieve the pressure on the pool structure. Thanks Google!
In an extreme example, imagine the pool was empty and the external ground water level was high around the pool, the structure of the pool would want to float right out of the the ground. The hydrostatic valve lets ground water INTO the pool, so that the level inside is equal to the level outside. Like pulling the plug on a boat will sink it, you want your pool structure to sink, not float.
Unless you NEED the pool. Why not just let it leak until the level is level with the main leak! Might help solve it. That’ll less water than constantly topping it up
Watching this channel I'm starting to wonder just how many pools are in the UK and what percentage have a leak
Not many
There's alot more than people realise
google maps. satellite view. zoom in and start counting.

Internet tells me over 200,000 😮
PHEW!!! I panicked halfway through, then Boom, Sherlock Duck is on the case.
Quality work for sure. We often get called in when other companies say there aren't any leaks and we end up finding multiple.
I love these videos. I really love them.
Cheers bro!! 👌
What does the hydrostatic valve do ??

That makes sense. Thanks 😆
What do you use to seal up holes or gaps ? That will be ok underwater 🤔🤔
Good work 👍👍👍👍
What would you do without that duck?
He’d be ducked.. yeah I’ll leave now
Top videos 🎉
I have a small garden water feature with a sump of 20 gallons. I have to top it up once a week - should I call you in or just keep topping it up?😉
Probably just evaporation, if it's being irrigated.
So how much do you spend on fixing the glass windows you always jump through?😉
Ducks' family member has a glass replacement company 😊🤣
