Your pool should only lose around 1/4 of an inch of water per day, give or take. More wind, sunlight, and heat will cause this number to increase, while rainy or cloudy days will decrease the amount of water that evaporates.

It is possible to install an above-ground pool yourself in about six hours, provided your yard isn't too sloped or you don't have many trees. It's imperative to ensure your ground is level; otherwise, your pool could collapse. Contact a swimming pool installer for an in-ground pool installation or to ensure your above-ground pool is installed correctly.

Swimming pool repairs cost around $675 on average. The repair cost could range from $85 to $3,200 or more, depending on necessary repairs and pool size and type. 

Above-ground pools are less expensive to repair, averaging $100 to $700. In-ground pools are more complex and come with a heftier price tag to fix. You can expect a $350 to $2,700 bill to repair your in-ground pool, with major repairs like a new pool pump costing in the upper price range.

One of the most obvious signs your pool is leaking is water loss—but a small leak can take a while to noticeably lower the water level. 

Keep an eye out for these telltale signs: 

• Unexplained soft, mushy, or wet spots in the yard 

• Cracks or falling tile

• Higher-than-normal water bills

• Dropping water levels

• Algae growth or discoloration in your pool

• Standing water at the pump or pipes
