Hello TFP’ers. I live in the East Bay Area of Northern California. Pool temperature this night right is 53. Daytime temps today were about 57 mid morning to 64 high.
Ever since the summer, I seem to still be adding water. I’m performing the bucket test right now since about 5 PM as I’m concerned. I disposed of my 8 mill solar cover couple months ago because it was just disintegrating at edges.
i’m gonna perform the bucket test first, and running the pump as usual. But then investigate if I should be testing both with the pump on, and pump off
questions/comments:
1. Do I prefer in the bucket test only over 24 hours, or longer?
2. pool was resurfaced from plaster to wet edge satin matrix November 2018. I cannot recall having to add water as much last year, but last year I kept my solar cover on all year. So perhaps I don’t remember adding it as much last year because the cover was on. With the temperatures I just gave you, it be in November, they’re not being a massive difference in pool and air temperature, would a 8 mill solar cover be the difference between this much of evaporation and not?
thanks
