There are several ways to determine if your pool is leaking. If you have a pool service, they will usually notice first. Your pool will not hold chemicals. They will have to add extra salt and stabilizer. The only way these chemicals get low is if water is leaving the pool. If you are still not sure you can perform a water loss test using a bucket. In Florida we see an average of 1/4 of an inch a day in evaporation depending on the area and weather conditions.
To perform a water loss bucket test you will need a 5 gallon bucket that does not leak. You will fill the bucket a little over half to 3/4 full. We recommend setting the bucket on the first step of the pool so water temp and conditions are the same. Turn off the pool and let the water settle. Mark the water on the inside of the bucket and in the pool. We have stickers just for this. You then turn your pool back on so it can run its normal cycle. 24hrs later you will turn the pool off, and recheck the bucket. If the water in the pool is lower than the Bucket you have a leak.
