HOW TO TELL IF YOUR POOL HAS A LEAK
Not Sure If Your Pool Is Leaking? Here’s How to Check
Many pool owners ignore early signs — until the damage gets worse. Knowing what to look for can save you thousands in repairs.
Clear Signs Your Pool Has a Leak:
- Water level dropping daily
- Cracks in fibreglass or visible damage
- Wet spots around the pool area
- Constant need to refill
- Air bubbles in return jets
- Pool cleaner not functioning properly
Simple Test You Can Do:
The Bucket Test
- Fill a bucket with pool water
- Place it on a step inside the pool
- Mark both water levels
- Check after 24 hours
👉 If the pool drops more than the bucket — you likely have a leak.
Where Leaks Usually Occur:
- Underground pipes
- Fibreglass lining cracks
- Around aimflow jets and weirs
- Pool light fittings
- Structural movement cracks

Leaks are often invisible and underground — guessing can lead to unnecessary digging and costs.
