Evaporation vs leak (Florida)

Florida pools see more sun, heat, and afternoon storms than most of the country. That means some water loss from
evaporation is totally normal — especially from late spring through early fall — but a true leak will still show up
when you compare your pool to a bucket.

Florida evaporation snapshot

In much of Florida, it’s common to see around 1/8"–1/4" of water loss per day in hot, sunny, breezy weather.
On very hot or windy days, some pools may push closer to 3/8" per day. That’s why we always recommend running a
proper Bucket Test — the bucket and the pool live in the same weather, so you can see what’s “normal” for
your backyard vs. a real leak.

Rule of thumb: if your pool is consistently dropping faster than your bucket over 24 hours, you’re not just
looking at evaporation anymore.

Florida counties we cover

Every Florida county below has a ready-to-go slot for a detailed leak guide. As we publish those county hubs,
these links will lead straight into hyper-local evaporation notes, symptoms, and pro connections.

If you click a county and land on a simple starter page, it just means that county’s deep-dive guide is still
being built. The bucket test and callback options work statewide right now.

What to do if you suspect a leak

  1. Turn off any autofill and mark the water level on the tile and on a bucket on the step.
  2. Let the pool run normally for 24 hours, then compare pool drop vs. bucket drop.
  3. If the pool is dropping faster than the bucket, use the call/text options below to get matched with help.

FAQ — Florida pool leaks

How much water loss is normal for a Florida pool?

In hot, sunny weather, most Florida pools lose about 1/8"–1/4" of water per day to evaporation. Down south or
during very windy stretches, you might see a bit more. If your pool is consistently dropping faster than your
bucket in a proper Bucket Test, that’s a strong leak signal.

What about heavy rain, storms, or hurricanes?

Big rain events will push water levels up and down, but they hit your bucket too. After things calm down,
re-mark the levels and re-run the Bucket Test. If the pool out-drops the bucket over 24 hours,
even after a rainy week, it still points to a leak.

How fast can someone usually come out in Florida?

It depends on season and demand. In cooler months, many visits can be scheduled within a day or two. In peak
summer, routes fill up faster, so it’s smart to reach out as soon as you notice a problem. Use the contact
options above and we’ll match you with someone who actually works your county.

Can I keep troubleshooting myself, or is it time for a pro?

If your bucket test says “no leak” and the drops are small, you can keep an eye on it. If the bucket test is
clearly showing a leak, if the pump is sucking air, or if you have obvious wet spots around the shell or
equipment pad, it’s time to bring in a specialist. They’ll pressure-test lines, listen for leaks, and
pinpoint the problem instead of just guessing.
