DIY POOL LEAK DETECTION

If you suspect your pool has a leak, there are a few simple steps you can take to try to locate it:

  1. Check the water level: If your pool's water level is consistently dropping, it's a good indication that there may be a leak. Mark the water level with a piece of tape and check it again in 24 hours. If it has dropped more than a quarter inch, there may be a leak.

  2. Look for visible signs of water loss: Check for any cracks in the pool or its surrounding area, as well as any wet or soggy spots in your yard.

  3. Conduct a bucket test: Fill a bucket with water and place it on the pool step. Mark the water level on both the inside and outside of the bucket, then wait 24 hours. If the water level inside the bucket has gone down more than the water level outside the bucket, there may be a leak.

  4. Use food coloring: Add a few drops of food coloring to the water near suspected leaks, such as around skimmers, lights, or pool fittings. If the color is drawn into the leak, there may be a problem in that area.
