Pool Leaks vs. Evaporation: What’s the Difference?

It’s normal for pools to lose some water due to evaporation, especially in hot or windy conditions. However, distinguishing between natural evaporation and an actual leak can be tricky. Evaporation typically causes a gradual, predictable water loss (about 1/4 inch per day in warm climates), while leaks result in more rapid or inconsistent drops. If you’re noticing unusual water loss, it’s time to investigate further.

The Bucket Test: A Simple DIY Leak Check

Wondering how to tell if your pool has a leak? Try this easy bucket test at home:

• Fill a 5-gallon bucket with water, leaving about 2 inches from the top.
• Place the bucket on a pool step or shallow area, ensuring it’s stable and partially submerged.
• Mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool’s waterline with a marker or tape.
• Wait 24 hours (avoid running pumps or using the pool during this time).
• Compare the water loss: If the pool level drops significantly more than the bucket’s, you likely have a leak.

This test accounts for evaporation, giving you a clearer picture of whether a leak is present. For accurate results, perform the test during calm weather and repeat it with the pump on and off to isolate equipment-related leaks.

Common Signs Your Pool Might Be Leaking

Beyond the bucket test, watch for these telltale signs of a pool leak:

• Significant Water Loss: Losing more than 1/2 inch of water daily, far exceeding typical evaporation rates.
• Pumps Losing Prime: Air entering the system can indicate a suction-side leak.
• Cracks or Soft Spots: Visible cracks in the pool shell or soggy areas around the pool deck suggest structural issues.
• Rising Water Bills: A sudden spike in usage could point to hidden water loss.
• Frequent Water Top-Ups: Needing to add water more than once a week (beyond normal evaporation) is a red flag.
• Algae Growth or Cloudy Water: Leaks can disrupt water chemistry, leading to imbalances.

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait—undetected leaks can damage your pool’s plaster, liner, or tile, erode surrounding soil, and strain your equipment.

The Risks of Ignoring Pool Leaks

A small leak might seem minor, but the consequences can escalate quickly:

• Structural Damage: Water escaping into the ground can weaken your pool’s foundation or decking.
• Higher Utility Costs: Leaks waste water and energy as your pump works harder to compensate.
• Equipment Failure: Leaks in plumbing or suction lines can burn out pumps and filters.
• Costly Repairs: Delaying detection often leads to larger, more expensive fixes down the road.

Early detection is key to minimizing damage and keeping repair costs low. Our expert team not only finds the leak but also provides tailored solutions to restore your pool to peak condition.
