I have a question regarding evaporation and CYA balancing. My pool seems to evaporate a significant amount of water. It is in fact in the sun all day. From when I opened the pool I have noticed a gradual reduction in CYA. I have tried to look for leakage, but unsuccessful. This would explain the CYA loss when I add water. Does the loss of CYA clearly indicate a leak or is it possible that I am loosing some of the dissolved CYA in the evaporation?
Thanks to the assistance the pool has been very very low maintenance and requires approximately 2 gallons of 10% hyupochlorine a week. This water loss situation is annoying and would be nice to know if I need to be more diligent in my leak investigation (I have spent several hours looking).
Thanks for you help.
Just to put levels:
pH - 7.5
FC - 5
CC - 0
TA - 90
CYA - 35
Temp: 82F
Borate - 50
