Signs Your Pool May Have a Leak
Recognizing these warning signs early can save thousands in water costs and prevent property damage.
Normal Water Loss vs. Leak:
Evaporation: Normal water loss from evaporation is typically 3-6mm per day in BC's climate, varying with temperature, humidity, and wind.
Leak Threshold: If you're losing more than 6mm per day consistently, or need to add water more than once per week, you likely have a leak.
