DIY Bucket Test For Pool Leaks
Before you hire a professional leak detection company, our experts at Arizona Leak Pros always recommend conducting a DIY Bucket Test. This test will help you confirm whether your pool is losing water due to evaporation or a pool leak based on how much water is being lost.
Typically, if your pool is losing more than 1/4 inch of water in 24 hours, you’re dealing with a pool leak.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Leaks
What Happens If You Ignore a Pool Leak?
Ignoring a pool leak can have serious repercussions. What may start as a minor issue can quickly escalate, resulting in significant water loss and increased utility costs. If left untreated, leaks can compromise the integrity of your pool’s structure, leading to more extensive and costly repairs down the line. Additionally, a neglected leak provides an opportunity for algae and other unwanted growths, which can further damage your pool and create an inviting environment for pests.
Addressing pool leaks promptly is essential for maintaining the health of your pool and avoiding expensive repairs. By taking care of leaks early, you ensure that your pool remains in top condition and prevent more significant problems from arising. Keeping an eye on any signs of leakage and acting quickly can save you both time and money in the long run.
What Are Common Signs Of a Pool Leak?
Pool Losing Water: Noticing a substantial drop in your pool’s water level may suggest a leak. If you find yourself needing to refill your pool more frequently than usual, it could be an indication of a leak.
Cracks in the Pool Surface: Visible cracks on your pool’s surface often point to deeper structural problems. These cracks are not only a cosmetic issue, but they can allow water to escape, potentially causing significant and costly damage in the long run.
Constant Puddles: If you notice water pooling around your pool equipment or decking, it could be a sign of a plumbing leak. It’s important to differentiate between typical water splash-out and potential leaks. If the water continues to accumulate or worsen without a clear cause, it may indicate a more serious issue.
Difficulty Keeping Chemicals Balanced: Ongoing leaks result in constant water loss, making it difficult to keep the right chemical balance in your pool. This imbalance can foster algae growth, affecting the overall health and cleanliness of your pool.
Wet or Soggy Spots: If you see areas of unusually wet or muddy ground around your pool, it could mean you have a leak. This indicates that water may be escaping from the pool and soaking into the surrounding soil. Ignoring this problem can result in significant and costly damage to your yard.
Autofill Constantly Runs: If your pool’s autofill system is running more frequently or continuously, it often indicates a hidden leak. The autofill system’s job is to maintain a steady water level. If it’s constantly engaged, it’s likely compensating for water loss that isn’t immediately visible, suggesting a concealed leak that needs further investigation.
