Try this simple test:

(Use this test, with the pool water level where it SHOULD be)

Place a 5-gallon bucket of water on the top step of the pool

Put enough water in the bucket to prevent it from floating away

Mark the level of the water inside the bucket and mark the pool water level on the outside of the bucket.

Allow the pool to operate normally for 24 hours and then check both water levels

Determine the Results

Ideally, both water levels will be where they were the day before.

If the water inside the bucket is lower, then evaporation occurred and the pool water level should be the same amount.

If the pool water level is less than the water level inside the bucket, your pool is leaking.
