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.
Why does your pool turn green 3 days after chemicals have been added?
water chemistry effects sanitizer level- adding water dilutes sanitizer level - rain dilutes plus puts enviromental pollution into the pool - your swim load affects sanitizer level - your water temperature (Warm) and the Sun can burn out the sanitizer level- was the filter running was the pool crystal clear what type of filter do you have? To many variables, take a pool water sample to your nearest dealer and discuss your problem with them so they can properly diagnose your pool
My fiberglass pool has lost about 2 feet of water since I put the cover on it. What could be the problem?
Check to see if there is a leak in it. You can do this by taking the cover of the pool and marking the water level, then take a bucket of water mark the level on it. place the bucket next to the pool and leave it there for a few days. if the level in the pool drops the same as the level in the bucket then the reduction of water is the result of evaporation. however if the level in the pool drops more then the level in the bucket you are loosing water somewhere.
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!)
Should I try to repair leaks in an above-ground swimming pool myself?
If you want to know if your pool leaks. # Take a bucket of water from the pool. # mark the water level of the pool. # mark the water level in the bucket. # check to see how much the water has gone down after a couple of days in the pool and n the bucket. # If the level in the bucket is closer to the mark then the level in the pool there is water being lost some where. If there is no difference then there is no leak. The surface water on the bucket evaporates at the same rate as that on the pool, so the should stay the same.
What is the purpose of balancing tank in reflection pool?
If you have a deck level pool or spa (water level with the top of the pool, that usually overflows into a grating around the pool) when people get into the pool their body displaces water, this water is stored in the Balance tank until the people get out and the water is pumped out of the balance tank and back into the pool. A skimmer pool that has a lower water level than the top of the pool does not need a balance tank as the displacement is handled by the water level rising. Deck level pools and spas are considered more aesthetically pleasing.
Will colder night temperatures and warm days cause significant evaporation over a week or would you consider that a leak issue?
Evaporation rates vary with weather conditions. The BEST way to simply determine whether the pool has a leak is called the 'bucket test'. 1) Partially fill a bucket with the pool water and mark or measure the water level in the bucket. 2) mark or measure the water level in the pool(does not have to be the same level as water in bucket) 3)Place the bucket on the top step of the pool and leave for 24 hours (or for as long as you like, but sufficiently long to see a change in water level due to evaporation). The fall in the two water levels, pool and bucket, should be exactly the same (eg: 0.5" drop in pool waterlevel and 0.5" drop in bucket water level). If the water level in the pool has fallen further than has the water level in the bucket, the pool has a leak.
How do you lower chlorine level in pool?
You add water to the pool
Pool water level regulator?
You did not ask a question so we don't know how to answer. Please ask a question about the pool water level regulator

Will it damage the pool pump or filter to let the water level drop?
So long as there is water coming through the pump when it is running it doesnt matter what the water level in the pool is.
When the anchor is thrown into the water will the water level in the pool drop or rise?
The anchor displaces water and the water level will rise.
