Pipes and leaks only
Pool and spa plumbing in Aurora
This page is about the pipes, valves, and leaks on a pool or spa. It is not chemical care, and it is not electrical work on a pump motor or a heater element.
What a plumbing scope can include
A leaking union, a cracked valve, a suction or return line that will not hold, and the piping at the equipment pad. Ask whether the leak is above ground, where you can see it, or underground between the pad and the pool. An underground water line to the house is a domestic water service, not pool plumbing. A drinking-water backflow preventer on the fill line is its own test.
Centennial's review schedule lists a residential swimming pool or spa with additions at 10 business days, and a multifamily pool on the commercial-style list. That is a construction permit, not a weekly vacuum. Aurora's published permit pages do not give a matching pool timetable. Ask Aurora's building division before you pour a new shell. Do not copy Centennial's calendar onto an Aurora lot.
What this guide will not claim
It will not balance chemicals, open a breaker panel, or size a gas pool heater. Gas work stays on the gas page, which has no steps. If the only problem is green water, you do not need this page. If the pump will not prime because a pipe sucks air, you might.
Questions to settle first
Do you cover pool chemicals or the pump wiring?
No. This page is pipes, valves, and leaks. Motors, heaters, and water chemistry are other trades. A quote that mixes them should say who does the electrical and who does the gas. This site will not describe either. Ask them to write that limit into the quote before you compare it with another company.
A new pool in Centennial is a quick permit, right?
The city's schedule lists a residential pool or spa with additions at 10 business days after a complete submittal, not on the one-stop water-heater list. Multifamily pools are on another line. Those clocks are Centennial's, not Aurora's, and they are not a guarantee.
The autofill line keeps running. Is that the pool pipe?
It may be the fill valve or the drinking-water backflow on that line. It may be a leak in the pool shell that is not a plumbing fitting at all. Ask which pipe was isolated. Do not repipe the house supply because the pool level drops.
Is an underground return line a sewer repair?
No. Pool circulation water is not sewage. The Aurora sewer lateral is a different pipe, owned by you to the tap. A leak in the yard still needs to be identified before anyone digs, so the sewer and the water service are not cut by mistake.
