Things to Consider When Finding A Pool Leak:
- Loose tiles or cracks in the pool deck
- Cracks or gaps in the bond beam
- Water saturated soil in the area around the pool pump or plumbing.
Here’s How to Check:
- Use a grease pencil to mark the water level of the pool at the skimmer. Check the mark 24 hours later. Your pool should lose no more than 1/4 inch per day. Otherwise, a leak is indicated.
- Try the Bucket Test – Place a bucket filled with pool water on a pool step (weight it with a rock or brick). Mark the water level on both the inside and the outside of the bucket. Check the mark 24 hours later. If there’s a greater drop in the line on the outside of the bucket you have a leak.
