Simple Leak Tests You Can Perform at Home
Before calling the experts, you can try a basic test:
Fill your pool to the normal level.
Mark the water level on the side of the pool.
Turn off all pumps and pool equipment.
Wait 24 hours and check the water level again.
Tip: A water drop of more than ¼ inch per day may indicate a leak.
However, professional inspection is always recommended for accurate results.

Why Bring in an Expert
While minor leaks might seem manageable, professional detection is crucial because:
-
Leaks are often hidden and not visible to the naked eye
-
Improper detection can lead to unnecessary repairs and costs
-
Professionals use specialized tools to pinpoint leaks quickly and accurately
-
Early detection preserves your pool’s structural integrity and extends its lifespan
In some cases, if a leak is too large, or if a vinyl pool liner has significant damage or age-related wear, replacement of the liner may be the most effective long-term solution. A professional can evaluate whether a simple repair or a full liner replacement is best.
