Adding water to pool?

[GMTK]

I'm in San Antonio where it's been stupid hot (43 days over 100 degrees) and we haven't had rain for almost 2 months (other than a sprinkle here and there). I've been having to add water to my pool every 3-4 days to keep the water line at the normal mark (so the skimmers will still work...).

Ya'll think this is normal? I've got a large pool, but also have two sails over the pool to help with evaporation.

I’m in the DFW area and have the same issue. I just filled last night and the pool is already slightly low. I’ll be filling again tomorrow or the next day at the latest. My situation is exacerbated by the chiller and our super low humidity. Humidity is around 20% and the chiller supercharges the evaporation. But my water temp is 81°!

Yes, very normal with said conditions. I enjoyed my 6 years in San Antonio, but I do NOT miss summer...no way it should last 10 months out of the year.

Yes it’s normal. I’m just north of you in Round Rock and I have to add water twice a week. The loss is right at 2” per 7 days with this heat.

Ok, thanks to all. I appreciate the responses.
