Signs You Have a Pool Leak

Rapid Water Loss:

While pools naturally lose water through evaporation, a sudden and significant drop in the water level beyond average evaporation rates (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch per day) can indicate a leak. Left unchecked, water loss can weaken the pool’s structure over time.

Wet Spots Around the Pool:

If the ground is wet or there are specifically lush patches of grass near your pool, it could mean that there is a leak. When water leaks from the pool, it often soaks into the ground, making areas that are soft, damp, or overgrown. This can be a sign of a problem with the pipes or structure. You should investigate these signs before the problem gets worse.

Unbalanced Water Chemistry:

Leaks not only drain water but also the chemicals that keep your pool balanced. If you’re finding that your pool needs frequent chemical adjustments, it could be due to water escaping along with chlorine and other treatments. Addressing the leak can help maintain stable water chemistry and reduce chemical costs.

Cracks in the Pool Shell:

Visible cracks in the pool shell, tiles, or decking can clearly indicate a structural leak. These cracks allow water to escape and may worsen over time, leading to bigger problems if not addressed quickly. Regularly inspect your pool for any cracks and have them repaired to prevent further damage.

Common Areas Where Pool Leaks Occur

Pool leaks can happen in various locations. The most common areas include:

Plumbing systems: Pool plumbing is prone to wear and tear over time.

Skimmers and returns: The seals around the skimmer and return fittings are often weak points for leaks.

Pool shell: Cracks in the pool’s structure can lead to significant leaks.

Main drains and light fixtures:These are common culprits for leaks in older pools.
