Pool Leak Detection
Leak Detection & Pressure Testing
On average, swimming pools lose about ¼” of water in a 24-hour period in the Northeast due to water evaporation rates. If you are losing more than that, you may have a leak. Significant water loss during the season can cost you hundreds in chemicals and water. If the water level drops too low, it could cause issues with the equipment, and major damage to your liner or cover.
Before becoming overly concerned about a potential leak you can do a simple test to determine if water loss in your swimming pool is due to a leak or is just evaporation. This simple test is called the bucket test. The bucket test exposes water in a bucket to the same conditions as those affecting your swimming pool. By comparing the water loss in each, it’s possible to determine if the pool is leaking or if supposed leaks are just the result of water being lost to the air.
Contact the office for instructions on the bucket test at office@njpoolguys.com.
