Place a bucket of water next to the pool and use it as a constant. The bucket will lose and gain water due to evaporation and rainfall at the same rate as the pool. Mark the water level in the bucket and in the pool and watch it over several days. Be sure not to backwash or splash water from the pool during the test, and turn off the auto-fill if your pool has one. If the water level in both drops at the same rate, you do not have a leak. If the pool loses 1 inch and the bucket loses 1/4 inch over the same timeframe, you would have 1/4 inch of evaporation and 3/4 inch of water loss due to other conditions, such as a leak.

How common are pool leaks in gunite pools?
More common than most folks realize. Based on my experience over the last 2 decades, I would say that most pools have a leak of some type, with probably 3 out of 5 having a substantial leak! This would be for pools in general and not specifically for gunite pools. Gunite shells don't leak unless cracked, but there are plenty of other places where a pool can leak. 36 years of remodeling and building gunite pools makes me disagree with the above answer. Very few pools have leaks with the most common place being in the skimmer throat. Also, after 5 years here in Nevada I have found more leaks in the light conduit than in 31 years in California. They use PVC conduit in Nev. and brass/copper conduit in Cal. Have a professional leak detection company detect the leak with dye and pressure testing to determine if the leak is in the vessel itself or in the plumbing.

Why do I have extremely high acid demand on gunite pool with leaks in plaster?
LEAKS! That is the key word. As you refill the pool you dilute the chemistry levels which compounds the demand for acid. Call a professional leak detection service to find the leak and have it repaired. It will only get worse. A constant leak behind the walls of the pool or at the skimmer can enlarge to a monster of a hole underground. Ken
