Detecting a Leak in a Swimming Pool.
All pools lose some water because of evaporation, depending on the environment and season you are residing in if you see you have a loss of water within a week of filling it you probably have a water leak.
How to Perform the Bucket Test.
To be sure of a leak in your pool, you can perform the bucket test.
Ensure your pool is at a normal water level, then fill a 20-liter bucket with pool water 100 mm from the top.
A third of the bucket must be underwater when placing it on the first step of the pool.
2nd step is to mark the water level within the water bucket and mark the pool water on the outside of the water bucket.
For one day leave the bucket, and compare both water levels. Should the pool water level be lower than the bucket's water level there is a possibility that you have a water leak and if the levels are the same you have no leaks which mean evaporation has occurred.
