do i have a leak?

[robertf123]

I just installed the my 12x28 aloha II fiberglass pool. Pentair 320 cartridge filter, 1 hp Pentair dual speed motor. I am losing at least a 1/2 of water per day from my pool. I live in Arizona and its been around 115 degrees out here. is this normal evaporation? I am going to do the bucket test on it. however I am looking for some insight as well.

Normal evaporation is going to be less than an inch of water per day even in most dry hot climates

thank you for the quick response post. I wanted to also point out we the wind out here has been 23 mph to 32 mph too

1/2 inch is probably normal given your conditions. Let the bucket test prove or disprove that to you.
