Good Morning Southern California pool owners,
Our weather here has been all over the place with days not consistant. Hot, Cold, Dry, Humid, Windy and Calm. I was wondering what your conditions and water evaporation has been?
Our pool is egg shaped, about 40 feet long and 16 feet at the widest point. There is a spa attached with overflow into the pool. We have 99% direct sun during the day. No trees, a very large yard for our area and since we are by the beach we almost always have a breeze or wind across our pool surface. We are losing an average of 1/4" a day. I tried to compare with our neighbor, but they have no clue due to they have an automatic water leveler.
I thought it was a bit much and thought we had a leak, but the pool service said it was normal for our area and surprised we are not losing more. He also said when we fill to proper levels the CYA would not be consistant. Since we have not had to add CYA there is not a leak. He tests cya once a month and a cya drop would be 1st indication of a leak. Im curious if he is correct or should I find another pool service?
