Pool Losing Water? Common Causes and Next Steps

Gulf Coast sun, wind off the barrier islands and summer heat make every uncovered Sarasota pool lose water to evaporation. Losing noticeably more than that may indicate a plumbing, shell or equipment leak.

Most likely causes

  • Skimmer or return line leak
  • Main drain leak
  • Cracked light niche
  • Failed pump seal

What to do now

Try a bucket test to confirm the loss is not evaporation, then consider scheduling electronic leak detection to pinpoint the source.
