Checking if my newly built pool has a leak before doing more leak tests.

Given the recent 107-122 heat indexes in the area, what has been your water loss?

I find that I'm putting in about 500 gallons in 16k 15x32 pool (close to an inch decrease on marked water level) every 4-5 days.

Pool water temp is around 84-85.

I read the following and it doesn't seem I have a leak issue but wanted to see what others with exposed pools (non shaded, non wind blocks) are experiencing.

Have you tried the bucket test to see if your water loss is due to evaporation or a leak?

I plan to do that, just trying to be home at the same time on consecutive days to make the checks as I think it needs to be done with one time off (pump) and one time on.
