Might be the best video on KZbin explaining pool leaks and variety of causes. I just started to look for pool leaks in my pool.

[@republic66]

Who could possible give this video a thumbs down?!? It was perfectly done!!! Bravo to an amazing job! Going to start utilizing what you taught me right away to isolate my leak.

[@themickdon2004]

I'll tell you who -- it's the pool repair guys...hahahahahahaha

[@ZanerRenaz-dv1vw]

The people who gave it a thumbs down clearly found a serious leak 😂

[@hughgreen7826]

Perfect, logical, 🎉 presentation

[@Broncort1]

This is for rich people pools…lol I have a 15x30 oval above ground pool. There’s no drains and my filtering is all above ground….lol

[@uhlspetznaz]

Man this video delivered! I've been working on figuring out where my leak is at and this seriously helped. Hurricane Harvey destroyed a lot here in Houston. Luckily my family and I stayed up all night and bailed, mopped, sopped up, water that was trying to flood our house. We used ever single bit of towels, clothing, bed sheets, comforters...ANYTHING that could pick up water. We had water flooding in but also leaking in from the now damaged sun room. Needless to say, it was a bad night for Houston. For us, in the end, our biggest damage was our back yard and pool (which no one covers and isn't qualified for aid). The water level was above our pool which meant our backyard was now our pool and eventually the weight of the water cracked and broke the concrete. Right below this broken slab of concrete is a return line and the water settles at that level any time after we have rain. Next time it rains I am going to plug that one line and see if it drains. Anyways, all that to say, thank you for the information. It's something I haven't been able to tackle but now I am pretty confident in being able to find the problem area. Here's hoping I can get it fixed without spending too much and that my family will be able to enjoy the pool again this summer.

[@helenselvey3320]

A great video to explain to the lay person what they need to look for in determining where a leak may be. Very clear, simple explanation and a great help, thanks.

[@TheWannaramble]

Fabulous video Mark, I have been working on and building pools since 1986, and I give your video 5 out of 5 inflatable palm trees 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴

Top shelf instructions. I love KZbin, and i love you. You’ve saved me thousands. Mark! Your the man!

[@kennethbuck5745]

Wow. Simply the best explanation/directions on how to systematically and quickly find a leak. Even with the low tech drawings (which are awesome), this is by far the best!

[@sergii_swimming_pools]

Quickly? lol

[@AndreiKiss-sg1ks]

I have been watching all Mark's movies and I am really impressed with the details and with his level of knowledge . I am working to find leaks on my pool ..., not easy but I hope with his help I will find out soon where the leak is. Thank you very much Mark !

[@Dan-TheHandyMan]

An excellent explanation of determining a leak. Thank you. Found my leak in the skimmer. Small hole

[@lokiwannabe8226]

[@Phoadley12]

Outstanding Mark. Very helpful.

[@Regiom-vp8ju]

This is helping me immensely understand how to tackle and be informed about my pool leak and proceed by myself or at what point I need a pool professional. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and may God give you abundantly a whole lot more!

[@stevenarseneault1972]

Wow. Now that is how to explain in detail a complex troubleshooting technic. Good job! I suspect a leak in my inground pool as I have to fill a 20x40 pool each day as it loses an inch of water that I refill with the hose. It even happens overnight. I am however going to do the bucket test properly by leaving it in the steps with water at the same level in the bucket as in the pool just to eliminate evaporation. Although i seems excessive. I will lose my chemicals quick and my salt if it is a leak. There are patches on the steps where return lines must of been. Especially since the pool shed wall says "steps". A color dye should find tnat one easy.

[@jamesbrownrigg3152]

Excellent info, trying to determine my pool leak now, no drain after plugging the skimmer holes, now checking return lines, also heard of a natural dye test to check holes. Cheers

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

Let us know if you have any other questions.

[@nsramage2410]

[@travislerlo4327]

Wow! Very well presented. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as I think I discovered where the leak is now because I though that if the water is above the light, it can't be the light! Thanks again!

[@harrisleslie1398]

Wow thank you that was a great explanation.

This is a great find. Though we're at the end of the season, I am still trying to figure out why my above ground pool continues to lose water. I will try this approach over the next few days and report back. Thanks.

Thank you sir mark

[@RH-qk5lt]

This tutorial is unfortunately, exactly what I need. Just bought a pool home in Florida, two weeks after taking possession I found the pool leaked. I'm heart broken but trying to stay positive and this video helped just a bit with that.

[@Dave-co1cv]

I live in Florida too, and have had a pool for over 23 years. I thought it would be great to own a house with a pool, but have come to realize the novelty quickly wears off, and soon it is just something to throw money 💰 into. I would never buy another house with a pool.

[@RH-qk5lt]

@@Dave-co1cv OH No. I would never own a home in Florida without a pool! We do everything in our Lanai. It's our #1 living area. We cool off, eat, sleep, cook, play games, relax, party...everything in our pool/Lanai. Our pool wasn't leaking by the way. It was evaporation. I wasn't use to the massive evaporation in FL.

[@Dave-co1cv]

@@RH-qk5lt Most people I know with pools (and I know a lot), almost all echo my sentiment. I'm glad you at least enjoy your pool.

[@russel718]

Best Video every!

[@jeanyves2007]

Great videos my friend.

[@badblackdaddy]

real professional. wish you guys were in my town. very helpful video. If you guys do orders I would be willing to buy supplies from you if you can ship in order to sponsor a real professional

[@Maryroselan]

My man out here saving lots of money and headaches!!! We just bought a new house and there's an inground pool, previous owner has never had a leak or other issues. I just started it and it's losing about 2 inches a day. We found cracks in the stairs, so hopefully the putty will be the solution to my sleepless nights lol.

[@PC-en9mv]

Excellent video :-)

[@suzannesbaileyenergycoachh2731]

Thank you so much! This is great! My pool was down to the return line this morning and now I have an idea what the problem could be. My return is just a flat cut pipe. I would like to see a video (if it is possible) how to convert to a fitting so I can install a return powered fountain. thanks!

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

Glad I could help. I will consider that for one of my upcoming videos. If you like, give me call and I could discuss a few things regarding your return fitting.
