How to Confirm You Have a Leak in Your Pool
To confirm a leak, you can use the bucket test. Fill a bucket with pool water and place it on a pool step (weighted down if necessary). Mark the water level inside the bucket and in the pool. After 24 hours, compare the two levels. If the pool water level has dropped more than the bucket’s, it’s likely there’s a leak.
How to Locate a Pool Leak
Once a leak is confirmed, locating it is the next step. This can often be achieved using dye in a syringe. In a still pool, squirt the dye near suspected leak areas. If there’s a leak, the dye will flow toward it, revealing the location.
