I dumped borates in my brand new pool this winter and continued to have high acid demand until 6 months or so had passed. I went from 4 cups every 2 days to about 2 cups per week.

Sometimes there’s a drought, and sometimes you might be out of town for several days. An auto fill can help in that situation. You can always shut it off.

I have a brand new jandy epump. When I run at 1600 rpm, it won’t fill. If I run at 2500, it will fill right up. If I go back to 1600 from 2500, it will lose a little water, but not much. It will usually hold that way for a while.

It looks to me like dye from your mulch is staining the deck. How is the slope from your garden beds to the pool?

Is your air conditioning coil up in your attic? One idea is that you’re getting some condensation that’s getting drained from the drip tray under the coil and then out of a soffit and splashing down on your decking. The drip trays are galvanized but they get rusty easily in a humid attic.
