Q. How do I know if I have a swimming pool leak?
Water is a expensive and precious resource in South
Florida. A pinhole-sized leak in a plumbing system with
40 pounds of pressure will lose approximately 970 gallons
of water in a 24 hour period.
A. South
Florida swimming pools will normally lose water each
day. The amount can be as little as 1/8" per day
and more. The amount of evaporation is dependent on
factors such as:
The amount of direct sun the swimming pool has during
the day. Pool features that increase the amount of water
exposed to the air such as water falls and fountains.
The use of the swimming pool. Each swimming pool user
can reduce the total water by 1/2 gallon as they exit
the swimming pool.
Neat trick to determine if you have a swimming pool
leak. Place a bucket on the top step in your swimming
pool. Fill the bucket with water so that the water level
is the same as the swimming pool. Check 24 hours later
to see if the levels in the bucket and the swimming
pool are the same. If they are not, you should have
your swimming pool checked for a leak.
