What's the Bucket Test?

The bucket test is a good way to see if you have a leak.

• Fill your pool to it's standard level. Use a 5 gallon bucket, fill it 1 inch from the top with pool water.  Homeowners also need to check and turn off any auto-fill devices.

• Submerge the bucket in the pool to about 5 inches. Putting it on the first or second step of your pool should be good.

• Mark the water level in the bucket and the water level outside the bucket.

• Leave it for 24 hours and come back to check the water levels you marked. If the water level outside the bucket dropped more than the water level inside the bucket, you likely have a pool leak. It's time to call a professional.
