How to find a swimming Pool Leak

Your pool will naturally lose some water to evaporation, some to splash-out and some to backwash wastewater. You may also gain water from rainfall.  

Is the pool leaking only with the equipment on?

This may indicate a pressure-side return leak. 

Is the pool leaking only with the equipment off?

This usually indicates a suction-side leak. 

Does the pool leak all the time?
Are there leaks at the equipment pad?

Turn the pump on and off looking closely for spraying water when the pump is turned off.
 

Does the water seem to stabilize at any particular level?
Are there any wet areas around the pool?

Is your pool equipped with a vinyl liner?

Spending time under water with a mask may be required to find a small leak in the liner. When liners become old  they may have many pinhole leaks. There can always be more than one leak.

 Unsure of your evaporation rate?

 Place a bucket of water beside the pool and mark both the water in the bucket and the pool water level.  Wait 24 hours then check the loss of both. If the pool loses more water than the bucket,  then you have a leak.
