How do I know if my pool has a leak?

• <div><p>Losing some water from splashing and evaporation is normal. However, if you notice a rapid drop in the water level or are adding water more frequently than usual, you might have a leak. Other common signs of a pool leak include:</p><ul><li><p>Unexplained soft, mushy, or wet spots in the yard.</p></li><li><p>Cracks in the pool's structure or falling tiles.</p></li><li><p>Higher-than-normal water bills.</p></li><li><p>Persistent algae growth or water discoloration.</p></li><li><p>Standing water near the pump, pipes, or other pool equipment.</p></li></ul></div>

Can you fix a pool leak without draining it?

• <div><p>Yes, small pool leaks are fixable with waterproof patches and sealants. It is always best to avoid <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-drain-a-pool.htm">draining a pool</a> if you can, since doing so safely takes time, patience, and a whole lot of water to refill it. Larger pool leaks may require draining, but in this case, it's best to call in a professional.</p></div>

How long can water sit in a pool without chlorine?

• <div><p>You should add chlorine within 48 hours of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-fill-pool-water.htm">filling your pool with water</a>. In just 24 hours, bacteria and algae will begin to grow and contaminate your water. After that point, you’ll need to shock the water with high levels of chlorine, and you’ll likely need to do additional vacuuming to get the pool clean. It’s important to check your chlorine levels two to three times a week and add more chlorine as needed to maintain a healthy level.</p></div>

This June, as in past years, John's very efficient team opened our pool - adding the necessary chemicals and starting up the pump and filters. In past years, the same people have replaced return lines and skimmer; repaired de-laminating liner; reinforced walls with concrete, etc.

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

No, pool jets should not have air coming out. While it’s a common problem, making it seem like air coming out is the norm, bubbling pool jets are a sign of loose bearings or fittings, or low water levels. You should get to the bottom of your jets releasing air bubbles because it could be a sign that there’s air entering the pump, which can shorten the lifespan of your pump or lead to costly repairs.

Losing some water from splashing and evaporation is normal. However, if you notice a rapid drop in the water level or are adding water more frequently than usual, you might have a leak. Other common signs of a pool leak include:

Unexplained soft, mushy, or wet spots in the yard.
Cracks in the pool's structure or falling tiles.
Higher-than-normal water bills.
Persistent algae growth or water discoloration.
Standing water near the pump, pipes, or other pool equipment.

Yes, small pool leaks are fixable with waterproof patches and sealants. It is always best to avoid draining a pool if you can, since doing so safely takes time, patience, and a whole lot of water to refill it. Larger pool leaks may require draining, but in this case, it's best to call in a professional.

You should add chlorine within 48 hours of filling your pool with water. In just 24 hours, bacteria and algae will begin to grow and contaminate your water. After that point, you’ll need to shock the water with high levels of chlorine, and you’ll likely need to do additional vacuuming to get the pool clean. It’s important to check your chlorine levels two to three times a week and add more chlorine as needed to maintain a healthy level.

A qualified pool contractor who is familiar with local regulations can assess your yard and let you know if it’s feasible to install a pool. Whether or not your yard is suitable for a pool depends on a number of factors, including the size of your yard, the placement of utility lines, your yard’s terrain, and more. It’s a good idea to see if it’s even possible to put a pool on your property before you get too far into planning.
