Have you noticed you need to add water to your pool more often? If you do your own pool maintenance, part of caring for your pool is keeping the water level full. When the water level drops, there are only a few reasons this can happen. Here are three reasons that your pool is losing water.
- Excess heat. If the temperatures are nearing the three-digit mark and beyond, you will notice more water loss in your pool. Simple evaporation is the reason and should be expected when the hottest days of summer arrive.
- Daily use. When your pool becomes the most popular place for friends and family to hang out, you can expect the water levels to lower. Heavy swim use will diminish the water as swimmers get in and out of the pool.
- Leaks. If the level of your pool is going down quicker than can be explained from heat or daily use, you may have a leak. It can be difficult to find a pool leak on your own. It can be in your plumbing, in the shell, around drains or in many other locations throughout your pool system. Hire a pool service that offers professional leak detection and repair to quickly find the source of the leak and get it fixed before it causes damage to your property.
You should always keep a close eye on the water level of your pool. If you notice it is dropping quickly, consider calling a pool service right away for an inspection. Your local pool professional can determine where the problem lies and offer you a solution to protect your pool and property.
