How can you tell if your water level dropping is normal or a leak?

Fill a bucket with water, then mark the water level on the bucket with a waterproof marker. Set the bucket next to the pool. Next, mark the water level of the pool. After a couple of days, check the marks on the bucket and the pool. They should measure the same (having lost the same amount of water due to evaporation). If the pool level has dropped more than the level of water in the bucket, you have a leak somewhere. (By the way, make sure your dog hasn't drank out of the bucket, or pool!)

I live in Memphis Tn and I would like to know if you think my pool has a leak or is this normal evaporation My pool is 10 x 32 by 4 feet deep is this normal or do I have a leak?
A good way to see if you have a leak in your pool is to # take a bucket and fill it with water from your pool. # mark it at the water level. # mark the pool at the water level. # wait a few days if there is no leak in the pool then the water level in the bucket should have reduced by the same amount as the water level in the pool, however if the water level in the pool has gone down more then the water level in the bucket you have a leak in the pool or in the pipes around the pool.

How do you know if the pool filter is leaking?
I had a leak in the bottom of our gunite mosiac tile covered pool and was able to find it by lowering the water level to about 1 foot then dropping red dye slowly around the perimeter of the pool. The dye headed straight to the leak. We fixed the leak and have not had a problem since. To find a leak in a vinyl you can use the red dye,although the easiest thing to do is call your pool dealer and have them come and with a leak detector.Then use a clear patch or scrap piece of your liner(always cut in the shape of circle).
Is there a good test for telling if a water heater is leaking, and is it important?
Use your water meter to look for a sudden drop in water level. That is indicative of a water leak. A sophisticated test is to shut off the water to the house, and all shut off all devices and faucets that use water. Immediately note the water dial level. Check the water level every thirty minutes. If you see a change in water level, then you must have a leak.

Another method is to is to let the water drop (with spa not running) and then observe the water level of the spa when the level ceases to drop. If the water stops dropping at a jet for example, that jet is the likely leak source.
If a ship in a canal lock springs a leak and sinks will the water level at the side of the canal lock rise fall or remain unchanged?
As the ship sinks, the water begins filling it up, so the water level would go down. The way the water level could go up is if you increase the displacement of the ship; however, by springing a leak, you effectively decrease it.

My pool water level always low?
You may have a leak. If you add water so that it's up to the middle of your skimmers, and within 12 hours the water level has gone down more than 1/4 inch or so - you probably have a leak. If it takes several days for the level to go down, it's more likely to be evaporation.
Is it normal for water to drip out of the bottom of the heater core housing or do you have a leak?
No, it's not normal. You have a leak in the heater core or may just be connections to heater core. If left untreated, it will soak into your rug and eventually cause your floor to rot.
