Anyone ever heard or know of an acurate formula for calculating evaporation rate of a pool ?
I am certain it depends on air temp, water temp, RH, agitation, air movement, disolved solids in water, etc, so I am sure it isn't an easy one, but this has really peaked my curiosity, especially here in NE FL with the drought conditions (RH between 20 and 25% with highs at 88 to 90) I have watched the water level drop almost 2 inches in less than a week. I do not have any leaks, and haven't backwashed (used the bucket on the ladder trick to verify)
any thoughts ?
figured this was a "geeky" question so I posted it here in the chem side...
