Is My Pool Leaking or Is It Just Evaporation?
A dropping water level doesn’t always mean your pool has a leak. Heat, wind, low humidity, splash-out, and heavy pool use can all cause normal water loss — but persistent or excessive loss may point to a problem.
Common warning signs can include unusually fast water loss, increasing water bills, wet areas around the pool or equipment, air entering the system, cracks, or water consistently settling at the same level.
