The Bucket Test
The "Bucket Test" will determine if water loss in a pool is due to evaporation or a leak:
- Bring pool water to normal level
- Fill bucket with pool water to about one inch from top
- Place bucket on first or second step of pool
- Mark water level on inside of bucket
- Shut off pump and mark pool level on outside of bucket
- Resume normal pump operation
- After 24 hours, compare the two levels. If the pool water (outside mark) goes down more than the inside water level, there is probably a leak.
In case of rain, repeat the test.
Test is not valid after 24 hours.
If you have a leak, find an American Leak Detection location nearest you in our Locations section.
