I placed a bucket with pool water in the top landing of my pool marked at the water line. I also marked the waterline of the pool. I did this about a 2 months ago and both seem to loose water due to evaporation at about the same rate. However I just filled the pool 2 days ago and now the water level has dropped about 2 inches. This seems way more water loss than caused by evaporation. I'll do the bucket test again but something else is going on.
I also have a small leak on the pump to motor connection. Pentair 1.5 hp pump with a generic Chinese motor. This leak could no way account for that much water loss, but will start with fixing this first.
What should I look for in the mating between the pump and motor? Any other ideas about this much water disappearing?
