Phoenix Valley · weather versus a hole
Unexplained pool water loss
June in the Valley can take an inch or more in a few days from heat and wind alone. Autofill then hides a real leak under that same weather. Request a locate when you are refilling more than last summer, or when the drop continues on a still night. This page cannot do a bucket test for you.
A bucket test is context, not a requirement
A bucket on a step, filled to the same line as the pool, compared after 24 hours, is the usual home check. If the pool drops more than the bucket, leak is more likely. If they drop the same, weather is more likely.
Wind, a fountain, and a kids’ Saturday all mess up the test. Write the conditions. A locator will still want their own look if the loss is expensive.
Autofill, backwash, and other quiet uses
An autofill stuck open can raise the bill without lowering the waterline — the opposite symptom. A backwash valve that does not seat can lower the pool while the filter runs. Those are equipment problems that show up as “water loss.”
If the water bill jumped and the pool looks full, say that. The visit may start at the fill line, not at the plaster.
Typical cost and timing — not a quote
People in this market often pay a few hundred dollars to have someone separate weather from a leak. That is cheaper than months of mystery refill, and it is not a promise this page can hold.
Monsoon weeks complicate tests because rain adds water. If you can, note a dry stretch. If you cannot wait, send the request anyway.
