Yes, and summer is when leaks are hardest to spot. Heat, wind and long afternoons increase evaporation, so a level that drops a little faster in July is not a leak on its own. The signs of a leak are a pool that loses more water than the bucket, loss that continues through rainy, overcast days, or a water bill that rises faster than the weather explains.
Run the bucket test on a calm day rather than during a heat wave, and measure with the pump off. If the pool still loses more water than the bucket, the season is not the cause.
Still not sure it’s a leak?
