evaporation

Hey guys, So after weeks of wishing my water disappearing was from evaporation it seem the 3/4” I’m losing a day is a leak. Bucket test confirms this. About my system… I ran 4 suction and 5 returns. All were ran independently with shut off valves for each. To start my leak test, I turned off...

Hello I have an inground pool is 30,000 gallons in a U shape. It is mostly 4 feet deep. I seem to have to add water daily and am losing 1 - 2 inches per day. I had someone come out over the winter And he said it was unlikely that it was a leak. The only thing he didn’t test were the lights. Any...

Several months ago, while I was in the middle of a Swimming Pool Equipment Pad renovation and rebuild, I became aware of just how much water my pool was losing on a daily basis (yes it was summer in the desert and I have a fairly large pool surface area). At first I thought I might have a...

Hi folks... I am curious about the water loss in my pool. I never pondered it much because the auto pool leveler took care of it (out of sight, out of mind). A few weeks ago, I shut the leveler valve off and decided to use my house soft water for evap compensation, because I am sick and tired...
