There are lots of little quirks that come with owning a swimming pool, and one of the tricky ones is they naturally lose water. Whether through evaporation, water getting backwashed, or splashed out of the pool entirely, the water level is likely to ebb for natural reasons. Likewise, the pool gains more water through rainfall, so it should all even out well—unless there is a leak.

If the pool is losing 51 mm (2 in.) or more water a week, it is likely something has gone wrong and there is a leak in the system. Noticing these issues quickly will help one save on water costs, chemicals, and heat while preventing further damage to the pool’s structure. Similarly, the repair will prevent washing away dirt that supports the deck. While sealants are supposed to make the pool watertight, they are prone to wear and tear after some time. Seepages can be from any of the pool fittings, plumbing, or through its shell. Finding the leak is an important step to take in the beginning. After it has been located, there are different steps pool professionals can take—depending on the location of the leak—that will ensure one is taking the appropriate actions.
