If you own a pool area, it is fairly easy to detect the presence of a leak. When you've opened the pool for the season you will be able to identify the leak in the water pouring out. The source of the leak from, however, could be quite different. Sometimes, it is straightforward to identify, however some times it's quite complicated.

The first thing to dois to make certain that any water that you feel or feel is missing is an actual leak. While you might think that it's a leak it may be something else. There are three main reasons why water is lost in swimming pools: leaks from the plumbing system, shell leaks and evaporate. It is important to understand the source of the leak before proceeding any further. There are times when what you believe may be a leak might actually be the result of water being lost due to splashing. This could occur if there are many people swimming into your pool.

Evaporation is the most common cause of water loss. Fortunately, there's a method by which you can identify if the decrease in water loss is the result of evaporation. To determine this, you need to take an enormous container, then add water to it and place it on the initial pool step. Then, you need to remove of the water that was on the first step to ensure that the water within the pool as well as in the container are at the same. Let the container be left for a couple of days, without anyone swimming in the pool the entire period.

If you go back just a few days, your levels should be similar. If they've dropped in any way, you'll know that the sun's evaporation is at fault. If the water you've got in your container has decreased a good much more than what you've got inside the container then you'll be aware that there is an issue with your pool.

If you suspect that the water could be going downwards to cause a pool leak it is first necessary to identify the source of the leak from. It is best to start by with the pump and the filter. When you are looking around, if you spot any damp or wet areas, you must look back at the water and determine if there is the source of the leak. Most of the time the leak could appear to be an issue to any of the pipes.

If the pipe isn't there the issue might be an issue in the shell. If you own an aboveground pool simply search for the hole the water flows out and fix it. However when you have one that is below the ground, it could be more complex. Try inspecting the pool's shell or examining the area around it.

Sometimes, regardless of how hard you try it's nearly impossible to determine the source of the leak from. Be aware that if the issue is with the shell, not let a professional to address the issue. Shells that are designed for underground pools in particular are very difficult to repair, and more difficult if you are a novice with little about swimming pools.

In the majority of cases, identifying and fixing a leak in your pool is simply identifying the cause until you locate the correct one. Once you've identified the source of the issue and are aware of what's causing it you will be able to decide whether or not to carry out the repair yourself, or contact a professional who is qualified and let them handle the work for you.
