The water in your in-ground pool is crystal-clear, its finicky chemistry perfect. Yet every morning there’s less of it than the day before. A simple test for a leak involves filling a five-gallon bucket almost to the top, then setting the bucket in the pool so the rim is a few inches above the surface. Mark the water levels on both the inside and the outside of the bucket, and check the levels in 24 hours.

“In either case, once a leak has been confirmed, it’s probably wise to call in a professional to find the exact location and make the repair”, says Richard Panzella, the president of Aquaquality Pools and Spas. “If the leak appears to be in the lines between the filter and the pool, most experts will pressure-test them. We basically put each line individually under air or water pressure, and then use gauges to see which line is losing pressure. Once the leaking line has been identified, it can be repaired.”
