FLIR thermal imaging camera helps find water leakage at Italian swimming pool

The administrator of a holiday apartment on the Italian island of Sardinia noticed there
was a problem with the swimming pool: it was leaking. Badly. The pool was leaking at a
rate of almost 19,000 liters of water per day. This particular apartment is located at the
village Porto Rotondo, at the Costa Smeralda, the northeast coast of Sardinia, which is a
very popular – and thus relatively expensive – holiday destination. He made this discovery
at the beginning of the summer, just before the high season started, so the problem had to
be fixed – and soon – before the guests would arrive.
