Is the pool leaking?

It's time for splashing with your favorite pool toy, lathering on the sunscreen, and putting on your favorite sunglasses to head to the pool. 

We want your pool season to be fun and worry free. One thing that can put a damper on your pool season is a leaky pool. No one wants a damaged pool to ruin their summer fun. 

We have tips on how to fix and find a leak that may have sprung up in your pool this summer: 

1. Place a 5-galloon bucket on the second step of your pool and use a marker to match the water level of your pool. 
2. Turn off any pump or other device in the pool. 
3. Wait about 24 hours and then return to check the status. If they both have gone down to the same level then you just have evaporation. 

But, if the pool level has gone down but the bucket has not, then you have a leak. 

• Repeat the test for another 24 hours this time with the pump on. 

You'll know for sure if you have a leak, and check out our next blog to find out how to fix it.
