think you have a leak?
Start With A Bucket Test!
A do-it-yourself bucket test is the simplest and most cost effective-way to check if your pool is leaking.
- With the pool at its normal operating level, place a sturdy bucket (one that does not leak) on the top step of the pool. Fill the bucket with pool water so the temperature inside the bucket matches the pool water. It’s imperative the bucket is in the pool to help maintain similar water temperature
- Fill the bucket to about 1-2 inches from the top. Mark this water level inside the bucket with a piece of tape. This mark will show water loss due to evaporation
- On the outside of the bucket, mark the pool’s water level. This mark will show total water loss, which may include both evaporation and leakage
- Let your filtration system run its normal cycle. After 24 hours, compare the two marks:
- If the pool’s water level (outside mark) has dropped more than the water level inside the bucket, the pool likely has a leak.
- The difference between the inside loss (evaporation) and the outside loss (total drop) indicates how much water is being lost due to leakage

Swimming Pool Leak Detection & Repair
A leaking pool or spa can be stressful, costly, and difficult to diagnose without the right expertise. That’s why choosing the right company matters. At HOperations, we bring 30 years of experience in locating and repairing leaks throughout the Bay Area. Our proven methods save
you time, reduce unnecessary repairs, and give you confidence that the problem is fixed right the first time. All backed by one of the strongest guarantees in the industry, we make sure your pool stays watertight and worry-free.

Underwater Work/VGB Compliance
All commercial pools and spas are required to comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (VGBA). This means installing anti-entrapment drain covers that meet ANSI/ APSP-16 standards. Compliance also requires replacing drain covers before their expiration date
(typically every 3-10 years, depending on the manufacturer) to avoid costly closures.
At H2Operations, we make VGBA compliance straightforward. After completing a system audit and securing any necessary permits, our team can typically bring your pool up to code through a
simple process: diving the pool and installing a new compliant cover into the existing frame.

Pressure Testing/Blockage Service
In some circumstances, a swimming pool may not require a full leak detection. If the owner or pool maintenance company is simply looking for confirmation of a leak in a specific plumbing line, or for blockage clearance, H2Operations can provide a service call at a lower cost than a
full leak detection.
