Think you've got a leak in your pool? Here's a simple 24-hour test to find out using just a bucket and a marker.

First, place an empty 5-gallon bucket on your pool's second step. Fill the bucket with water to match your pool's water level exactly.

Next, use a permanent marker to make two lines: one for the water level inside the bucket and one for your pool's water level on the outside of the bucket.

Now turn off your pump and wait 24 hours. This is important: don't use your pool during the test.

After 24 hours, check both water levels. If they've both gone down the same amount, you're just losing water to normal evaporation. But if your pool's water level is lower than the bucket's, you've got a leak.

If you have a liner, you can easily add a quick vinyl patch. If you have concrete or fiberglass, I recommend calling in a pro to help.
