    Leak?

    Over the past 7 days my pool water level has dropped 3/4" inch. Do you think this is a normal amount of water to lose through evaporation or would you suspect a leak? Our pool is located on the north side of our property.

    Our newly-built inground pool is not quite 30 days old and we are watching an approaching tropical system (Elsa) heading in our direction.
