Do you think your pool may be leaking? This article on How to Detect Swimming Pool Leaks describes the bucket test, which will help you determine if your water loss is from a leak or is just evaporation. This evaporation chart will help you determine what amount of evaporative water loss to expect from your pool.

Pool Maintenance

Proper maintenance and consistent water chemistry will prolong the life of your pool finish and equipment and can save you money by reducing energy costs and keeping evaporation to a minimum.
