All pools lose some water due to evaporation. The trick is to find out if the drop in water level is due to a pool leak, or just normal evaporation.

Follow the instructions below to determine if your water loss is a leak in the pool or normal evaporation.
1) Place a filled bucket of water on the first or second step of your pool.
2) With a pencil, mark the water level in
the bucket.
3) Turn off the pool pump and let the water settle.
3) Mark the water level inside the skimmer.
4)
After 24 hours, measure the difference in the actual water level with your marks.
General rule of thumb is that most pools will lose around 1/8 an inch per day due to normal evaporation. Pools in breezy
locations may lose more
If your pool is losing a 1/4 inch more than the bucket in a 24 hour period, you most likely have a leak. Please call or e-mail
us a service request so that we can discuss our leak detection services with you.
