If the pool seems to be losing a lot of water, and you don't think this is due to evaporation, your pool may have a leak. If you have a vinyl-lined pool, check your entire liner carefully. If you find a hole or cut, you can repair it yourself. The most likely place for a leak in all types of pools is the main drain. Many sophisticated leak-detection systems are available.
