Wondering if your pool or spa is leaking? This DIY bucket test is an easy way to check if water loss is from a leak or just natural evaporation.
Step 1: Place a 3-5 gallon bucket on the bench or first step of the pool. The water in the pool should reach two-thirds the height of the bucket. Put a large stone in the bucket to hold it down.
Step 2: Fill the bucket to the level of the water in the pool. In other words, the water inside the bucket should be at the same level as the water outside the bucket.
Step 3: With a piece of tape, mark and date the level of the pool water on the side of the bucket. You will also do the same on the inside of the bucket.
Step 4: Run the system on its normal timed cycle and check the pool water level after 24 hours.
