Swimming Pool Evaporation/ Bucket Test
How to perform a bucket test
1.Fill pool half way up tile, (proper level of water level). Note the water level of the pool. If you have an auto-fill device, make sure it is turned off.
2. If you have a hot tub/ spa have pool and spa running and spilling over, ( normal operation).
3. Be sure that no people or animals enter the pool during the test. This will skew your results because they may cause water to splash out.
4. Fill a bucket with water up to about 1 inch from the top.
5. Place the bucket on a step or seating area within the pool so that it is immersed up to 5-6 inches from the top of the bucket.
5. Mark the water level inside and outside of the bucket.
6. Check the levels in 24 hours. If the level of the water outside the bucket has dropped more than inside the bucket, this means that the water in your pool is being lost by more than natural conditions, and you may have a leak.
*If it rains during this period, you will have to redo the test.
