It may be easier to discover a leak in an above-ground swimming pool, but it still takes a little detective work to determine where the leak is and the best repair steps. A bucket test will confirm if a pool leak is present, but finding the location.
Does it look like the cover of your pool is lower? Is there water on the grass or cement that doesn’t seem to be weather related? If your covered pool loses water in the winter, you probably have a leak. You need to roll back the cover occasionally.
If your pool lost water overnight and it is more than a quarter-inch due to evaporation, you probably have a leak. Evaporation accounts for a minor amount of water lost each day. Losing a half-inch or more overnight indicates a problem.
