We Just Built the Two Pool Tools the Industry Has Been Missing
Pool Tools · Leak Detection · Water Loss · The Leak Business Academy

Every pool loses water. The question no one could answer precisely - until now - is exactly how much it should be losing today, under current weather conditions, at your specific location.
That gap in knowledge has been costing pool owners, service technicians, home inspectors, real estate agents, and pool builders money for years. Either they call a leak detection company when evaporation was the explanation all along. Or they assume evaporation is the culprit while a real leak quietly damages their pool structure, deck, and surrounding soil.
We built two free tools to end that guesswork — and we are confident there is nothing else like them available anywhere.
Tool #1: The Pool Evaporation Calculator
Enter your zip code, your water temperature, and four quick questions about your pool's conditions. The calculator fetches live weather data - dew point, air temperature, wind speed, and barometric pressure - and uses the Penman evaporation formula to give you a precise daily evaporation rate in seconds.
The result is color-coded: green for normal, yellow for elevated, red for very high. You get your weekly and monthly projections too. No account, no download, no cost.
What makes it the best available: It is the only pool evaporation calculator that combines real-time weather data, the Penman formula, and pool-specific conditions in a single mobile-first tool - available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Nothing else comes close.
Tool #2: The Pool Leak Analyzer
Once you know your evaporation baseline, the Pool Leak Analyzer compares it against your actual measured water loss — and tells you whether the gap points to a leak, and how urgent the situation is.
Four diagnostic levels: No Leak Indicated, Possible Leak, Likely Leak, or Confirmed Leak Likely. Add your pool dimensions and it calculates estimated gallons lost per day.
The feature no other tool has: a rainfall adjustment field. Rain adds water to your pool and masks true water loss. Every other tool ignores this. Ours accounts for it — giving you a corrected, accurate diagnosis even after a rainy week. Combined with three-language support, this is the most complete pool water loss diagnostic tool ever built for field use.
Use Both Tools Free — Right Now
Both tools are free, require no sign-up, and work on any phone — designed specifically for poolside use in full sunlight. They work together: App 1 calculates your baseline, a single tap transfers it to App 2 for diagnosis.
Pool professionals: bookmark both. These belong in your toolkit alongside your test kit and your pressure gauge. Share them with your clients. Use them on every job where water loss is a question.
