How do I find a pool leak?

• <div><p>Pool leak detection dye is a great way to test specific areas of your pool for unbalanced water flow. By releasing the dye close to possible trouble areas—like around the seal of the skimmer—you can narrow down the potential crack. However, it's best to call a professional pool repair team near you if an initial patch does not keep your water level from lowering.</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>
