I have a 13000g plaster pool with a connected 800g hottub. The hottub is above the pool with a waterfall.
I’ve noticed the hottub water level dropping more than seams reasonable due to evaporation. The tub has a cover, but it’s not totally covered due to the waterfall part. The cover has a flap for the waterfall but there is some evaporation that will occur around the flap. Maybe 1/2” gap around the flap.
I think I’m loosing around 10-15g a day. I’m going to mark it today to get a better 24hr measurement.
I think The plumbing for the tub goes under the pool.
The tub is at 80-100 depending on time of day. Ambient temp has been around 50-60.
Is it possible for 10-15g to evaporate out just around the edges of the flap?
If it’s a leak in the pipes, is there a way to diagnose and repair without tearing everything up? The cost to tear it up will greatly outweigh the cost of the lost water.
I have not seen any obvious water downhill of the pool. Everything is deep enough that I don’t think I would be able to see 10g dispersed over 24hrs.
