How much water loss is normal for a pool?
Pools naturally lose some water due to evaporation, splashing, and backwashing. In general, losing 1/4 inch or less per day is considered normal. More than that likely indicates a leak.
How can I tell if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
The bucket test is an easy way to compare your pool's water loss to evaporation. Fill a 5-gallon bucket with pool water and place it on a step, then mark the water levels inside and outside the bucket. Check back in 24 hours. If the pool level has dropped more than the bucket's, you probably have a leak.
Can you detect leaks without draining the pool?
Yes, in most cases pool leaks can be found and repaired without draining the pool. Our non-invasive leak detection methods allow us to pinpoint leaks with minimal disruption to your pool.
How long does leak detection take?
The time needed for leak detection varies depending on the size, type, and condition of the pool. Our technicians work efficiently to locate leaks, typically completing the detection process within 1-3 hours.
