How can you determine if your pool has a leak?
If you want to know whether there's a leak in your swimming pool take a look at for leaks on your water bill. If you're renting although you're not in charge of your water bill you can still look at the meter and determine whether there's an increase on water consumption. If so you should make an appointment for a leak inspection with your landlord. If you're water use hasn't changed but your bill has gone up it could be because a leak could be the reason. Do not panic if you suspect a leak. The use of coloring dye can help located larger leaks.
