Pool Leak Detection Services in Cape Coral
Pool leaks are a lot more common than most people think.
Normal evaporation is 2-2.5 inches of water per week.
If you are losing more than this, you likely have a leak.
Leaks waste water and chemicals; they can cause structural damage to the pool shell and deck.

Discover If Your Pool Is Leaking
If you’d like to determine for yourself if your pool is leaking, you can do what is commonly called the bucket test. It works better than marking the water level because it will work even if it rains.
How To Do A Bucket Test
Step 1: Bring the pool water to normal operating level, usually in the middle of the skimmer or tiles.
- Note: if your pool is one of the few pools with an automatic water make-up, it must be turned off before your conduct the test.
Step 2: Place a bucket filled with pool water on the top step of the pool. You may need to weigh down the bucket with a brick or large rock so it won’t get knocked over.
Step 3: Add or subtract water from the bucket so it matches the level in the pool.
Step 4: Check the level 24 hours later. If the pool water is below the water level in the bucket, you have a leak.
