25000 gallon Rain Gauge...

Using your pool chemistry as a rain gauge...

Well, my salt was at ~3600ppm at the end of July
At the end of August, its at ~2800ppm.
We've lost 800ppm in a month...a little over 20%

I knew I'd pumped out probably 10+ inches from the pool, and that would be roughly 4500 gallons , which is about 20%, so I guess it tracks...but sheesh...
Average rainfall here in August is about 3 inches for the month. We blew through that on Friday night alone...

The early spring was wet and I was draining, then there wasn't a drop of rain for 1.5 months and I was filling, then lately it's been wet again and I've been draining.

Over the last 10 years it was usually a nice balance neither needing drains or fills. Can't win em all.

But you know what I *wasn't* doing, no matter what ? Thaaaaaats right !!! Lugging jugs. No sir. Maybe one or two a season.

Glad you found something to keep yourself occupied with all that free time since switching.
