Step by step through leak detection
Evaporation in a Tennessee July can be a quarter inch a day, which is enough to look like a leak. The bucket test settles that in twenty-four hours and costs nothing, so it is always the first step.
Where the water is going decides everything. A skimmer throat, a light conduit, a return fitting and a cracked shell are four very different repairs, and digging before knowing which is how yards get destroyed unnecessarily.

FAQ
What owners ask about leak detection
How do I know if my pool is leaking?
The bucket test: a bucket of pool water on a step, marked at the water line inside and out, left for a day with the pump off. If the pool drops more than the bucket, it is leaking — evaporation in a Tennessee summer is real, but it is the same in both. A pool losing more than a quarter inch a day beyond evaporation is worth finding.
How do you find a pool leak?
By pressure-testing the plumbing lines one at a time to see which holds pressure, dye-testing the shell around fittings, lights, skimmers and cracks, and listening equipment where the line is buried. The leak is found before anything is dug, which is what keeps a leak repair from becoming a deck replacement.
