CVP Leak Detection Damaging Pool Pump and Sand Filter
On Friday 27 March CVP Pool Leak Detection were contracted to find a leak on the suction side of the pump as air bubbles were observed in the return to the pool. The water level had not dropped. I paid the required R1800 and expected expert service. When the technicians arrived I was not impressed with the standard of the equipment. The wiring to the compressor was unsafe as the cables had just been twisted together. After I alerted the technician to the hazard he then used insulation tape. The technicians informed me that they tested the piping system both on the supply to the pump and the discharge from the pump. No leak could be detected despite the system being tested initially at 1 bar then 2 bar. They advised that the bubbles could be from air entrained in the system due to the pump being 0.75kw. They recommended that a 1.1kw pump is installed. I asked for a quote. CVP quoted R4600 for a pump and R1750 for installation and stated that the pump could be installed the next morning. I found this to be excessive and declined. After the technicians left I noticed that the pump had not been restarted which caused some confusion as it was on when they arrived. On Saturday morning when I tried to start the pump., there was just a buzzing/humming noise. I checked the leaf basket by the pump to ensure that it was primed and noticed that the water was murky. I contacted CVP and requested a technician urgently. They advised that no technicians were available despite being told the evening before that they could install a pump on Saturday morning. As I needed the pool to be 100% for a function on the Sunday, I contacted another supplier who installed 1.1kw pump. When the old pump was removed the technician showed me that there was 3 of 4 cupful's of sand in the basket. The multiport valve was also inspected and sand was removed. This indicated that the fingers in the sand filter had been damaged. The system was operated on bypass so as not to pump sand into the pool. After many WhatsApp messages with CVP, who deny any wrong doing or accountability, there has not been any satisfactory answer of how the sand passed through the multiport valve, through the pump and into the leaf basket. CVP have stated that the filter fingers could be damaged over time, which is acceptable. However, if that was the case then sand would be discharged into the pool or through the waste when cleaning the filter. Under normal operation it would be impossible for the sand to flow against the flow of the water into the leaf basket. Being a Chemical Engineer, my conclusion is that by pressurizing the system to 2bar (normal filter operating pressure is 0.7 to 1.4bar) the fingers in the filter have ruptured and blown the sand back through the multiport valve, through the centrifugal pump and into the basket. It would also indicate that the system was not isolated correctly for the testing which CVP state did happen. The result is that I have had to pay for a pump and a filter to be installed.

BEWARE OF THESE ******
DONT USE CVP SWIMMING POOLS AND LEAK DETECTION We paid Rendy a 70% deposit and our pool is STILL leaking. We found these guys on facebook were they are always advertising. From the beginning everything seemed fine, but once a large payment was made, things changed. The problem was never properly fixed, and getting proper follow-up has been extremely difficult.After going through other reviews, it’s clear this is not an isolated case. Many people are saying the same things incorrect diagnosis, being told the wrong repairs are needed, work not solving the actual issue, and then struggling to get responses afterwards.Rendy is very rude and will drop the call on you whilst you’re still trying to explain. There are multiple complaints about poor communication, calls not being answered, and jobs dragging on far longer than promised while the original problem remains unresolved. Some customers even mention having to bring in another company to fix what should have been done correctly the first time which is exactly what it’s starting to feel like here. Search for CVP HOLDINGS on Google This is not just one bad experience. There is a clear pattern across different clients over time, and that should be a serious warning to anyone considering using them. We have since contacted our lawyers and Rendy will pay for this . If you are thinking of paying a deposit especially a large one please think twice. Learn from our mistake before you lose your money and still end up with the same problem
