Set Up Your Pool
Leave your pool's filter and heater operating normally. Do not use your pool or spa during test period. Turn off all automatic-filling systems. Turn off all water features such as waterfalls, fountains, spa spillways or spray heads that produce excessive evaporation. Fill your pool to its normal operating level. Over filling the pool may give an indication of a false leak.

Select Location
Check A Leak is designed to work on the first or second step of your pool. If the water depth at the top step is over 4" you can place the Check A Leak on the top step without the legs. If the water depth at the top step is under 4" you must attach the legs and place the Check A Leak on the second step.
