Q: How to find a leak in an inflatable pool?

Look for wet spots under the pool or listen for air hissing if it’s losing air. You can also apply soapy water to the outside —bubbles will form where air or water escapes. For small pinholes, patch kits work well.

Q: How does pool leak dye work?

The dye is heavier than water and allows you to see the water flowing or traveling to the leak, making it easy to see exactly where water is escaping. It works best when the pump is off, so the water is still.

Q: How do I find my pool drain?

The main drain is located at the deepest point of your pool’s floor . It may be round or square with a grate cover. Some pools have dual drains for safety. These are used for circulation and not typically to empty the pool.

Q: How do I stop my pool from losing water?

First, identify the source of the loss. Once located, the leak must be repaired—whether it’s a patch, new plumbing, or resealing a fitting. Keeping up with pool maintenance, balanced chemicals, and timely repairs helps prevent leaks from recurring.
