Pool Water Loss
Calculator
Find out exactly how many gallons your pool is losing per day — and what it's costing you every year. Enter your pool size and water loss amount below.
☀️
South Florida pool season runs year-round. Normal evaporation is ¼ inch per day. Anything more than 1 inch every 4 days is likely a leak — and every week you wait costs more money.

How to Measure Your Water Loss
1
Do the bucket test first. Fill a 5-gallon bucket to match your pool's water line. Place it on a pool step (so it's in the water). Mark the level inside the bucket and the pool level outside. Wait 24 hours without running the pump.
2
Measure both drops. After 24 hours, measure how much the pool level dropped vs. the bucket level. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, the difference is your water loss beyond normal evaporation.
3
Enter that number above. Enter the difference in inches into the Daily Water Loss field. The calculator will show you exactly how many gallons you're losing and what it's costing you each year.

South Florida Water Loss Reference Guide
¼ inch per day or less — Normal evaporation
South Florida heat and humidity make this level of loss completely normal. No action needed.
¼ – ½ inch per day — Watch closely
Could be high evaporation during summer heat. Run the bucket test to confirm before calling.
½ – 1 inch per day — Possible leak
This exceeds normal South Florida evaporation. A professional Leakalyzer® test is strongly recommended.
More than 1 inch per day — Likely significant leak
This level of loss almost certainly indicates a structural or plumbing leak. Call Carlito today — every day you wait costs more.
