Understanding Pool Water Leaks: Causes, Signs, and Solutions
A pool water leak can be a frustrating and costly problem if left untreated. If you notice your pool losing water faster than usual, it’s essential to address the issue quickly to prevent further damage. Here’s what you need to know about pool leaks, their causes, warning signs, and solutions.
Common Causes of Pool Leaks
- Cracks in the Pool Structure – Over time, concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl pools can develop cracks due to ground movement, aging materials, or improper installation.
- Plumbing Leaks – Underground pipes and fittings can develop leaks, leading to water loss that may not be immediately visible.
- Faulty Pool Equipment – A leaking pump, filter, or heater can cause water loss, reducing the efficiency of your pool system.
- Broken or Loose Fittings – Skimmers, return jets, and drain fittings can develop leaks due to wear and tear.
- Evaporation vs. Leak – While some water loss due to evaporation is normal, excessive loss may indicate a leak.
Signs Your Pool Might Have a Leak
- Water level drops more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch per day (beyond normal evaporation).
- Wet spots or mushy ground around the pool area.
- Cracks in the pool deck or surrounding areas.
- Air bubbles in the pool pump system.
- A sudden increase in water bills if using an automatic fill system.
How to Confirm a Pool Leak
A simple bucket test can help determine if your pool is leaking. Place a bucket filled with water on the pool step and mark both the inside and outside water levels. After 24 hours, compare the levels—if the pool water drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.
