Effective, Easy, and Essential Bucket Test

How to Perform the Bucket Test

Do you have a leak in your pool? Wondering if water loss in your pool is the result of a leak or evaporation? The bucket test is an easy way to rule out pool leaks.

Steps to Perform the Bucket Test:

  1. Bring pool water to a normal level.

  2. Fill the bucket with pool water to about one inch from the top.

  3. Place the bucket on the first or second step of the pool.

  4. Mark the water level inside the bucket and the water level outside the bucket.

  5. After 24 hours, compare the two water levels.

Conclusion:
If the water level outside the bucket has dropped more than the water level inside the bucket, you likely have a pool leak and should call a professional.
