Is your New River pool leaking, or just losing water to the sky? Summer evaporation here is real and steady. A leak behaves differently: it keeps going at night, shows up as air in the returns, or leaves a patch of ground that stays damp in July. We pressure test each line separately, so the answer arrives with a location attached.
The first question a plumber should ask in New River is not what broke. It is when the house was built. Here the honest answer is usually rural custom homes on acreage, and the pipe that came with it: copper, PEX, some CPVC.
There is a free way to tell the two apart. Set a bucket on the pool step, fill it until the water inside matches the pool, and mark both levels. Turn off the auto-fill. After 24 hours, compare. The bucket shows evaporation; if the pool dropped noticeably more, the difference is going somewhere else. Run it once with the pump on and once with it off, and the results start pointing to which side of the plumbing is at fault.
Signs the pool is losing more than weather
The pool drops faster than the bucket
Evaporation is steady and predictable. A loss well beyond the bucket, day after day, is a leak. It is the most reliable sign there is, and it costs nothing to check.
Air bubbles from the return jets
Air in the returns means air is getting into the suction side, often at a cracked fitting, a loose pump lid or a worn valve. The pump works harder than it should the whole time.
A pump that keeps losing prime
A pump basket that half-empties overnight, or a pump that runs dry after a restart, suggests a suction leak that draws air while running and lets water drain back when it stops.
Wet ground between the pool and the pad
Soggy soil in July, a stripe of weeds doing suspiciously well, or a paver settling along the return run. Water that leaves a pipe underground has to surface somewhere.
Does the auto-fill ever stop?
The float valve hides a leak by replacing whatever escapes. Turn it off for a few days and watch the level. The hidden leak calculator shows what a steady loss adds up to over a year.
Cracks where the skimmer meets the deck
A thin crack around the skimmer throat is usually the deck moving on the soil beneath it. Water finds that gap, and the gap widens every summer.
