Liner Leak Detection
You suspect your pool is losing water through the liner
Typical water loss from a pool is approximately 1/4 inch per day. You shouldn't be adding more than two inches of water per week.
Here's a few things you can do yourself before calling PoolBoy.
- Ensure water level is half way to two thirds up the skimmer mouth
- Inspect the equipment pad for moisture
- Inspect the pump for air bubbles
- Inspect the pool for dirt or debris in front of the return lines
- Look for floating or tears in the liner
- Do a bucket test(see below)
If you're certain you have a leak and are unable to locate or repair yourself, give us a call and we will schedule you an appointment to have your pool professionally repaired.

Bucket test:
- Fill your pool to the proper level
- Get a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with pool water
- Put the bucket in the pool on the first or second step. The water in the bucket should be higher than the pool water level
- Mark the two water levels, inside the bucket and then outside at the pool level with electrical tape
- Turn off any auto fillers
- Leave the bucket for 24 hours then compare the two levels. They should both drop the same amount
- if rain falls, repeat test on a dry day
