How To Bucket Test Your Pool For Leaks
In order to perform a this test you will need the following household items: (1) bucket (2) brick or stone (3) tape or pencil
Step 1: Put a brick or stone into the bucket then place it on the first or second step of the pool. Step 2: Fill the bucket with water up to the same level of the water in the pool and mark the water levels using the tape or pencil on the bucket and on the pool. Step 3: Wait 24 hours and check to see if the pool's water level has dropped lower than the bucket's. If it has, you have a leak in your pool. If the levels are equal, your pool is not leaking. |
