- Increased chemical demands (to treat new water that is added to the pool)
- Increased water bills
- Cracks in the Swimming Pool deck resulting from settling earth
- Unexplainable evidence of water outside the Swimming Pool
- Adding water manually every couple days
The Bucket Test
A common reason for minimal Swimming Pool water loss occurs with natural evaporation. To best determine if your Swimming Pool is experiencing evaporation or water loss due to a serious leak that needs immediate attention, you can perform the “Bucket Test”.
During this test, do not let anyone swim in the pool and or spa.
- Fill the level of your pool to normal operating level (normally mid-tile or mid-skimmer).
- Fill a bucket with pool water to about one inch from top.
- Place bucket on the first or second step of pool.
- Shut off pump and mark water level on outside of bucket with a permanent marker.
- Resume normal pump operation.
- After 24 hours, compare the two levels. If the pool water (outside mark) goes down more than the inside water level, there is probably a leak.
