- How to Know When Your Pool, Spa, or Fountain Is Leaking
Signs of a Leak
Being proactive about detecting leaks can save you time and money. Here are some indicators:
-
Water Level Drop:
A water loss of more than 1 inch per week can indicate a leak. -
Wet Spots:
Look for damp areas around the pool or spa, which may indicate a leak. -
Increased Water Bills:
A sudden rise in your water bill without a corresponding increase in usage may signal a leak. -
Visible Damage:
Cracks in the pool surface, loose tiles, or rusted fixtures can be signs of leaks. -
Changes in Water Quality:
If the water clarity decreases or chemicals are not holding, there may be a leak. -
Monitoring Water Levels:
Conduct a simple bucket test by placing a bucket filled with water on a step in your pool. Mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool. After 24 hours, compare the levels. A significant difference suggests a leak.
