Chemical Balance questions

Salt does not evaporate (nor is consumed) in a pool. You will have some salt loss when backwashing and through splash out, and certainly through a leak. How much Salt are you losing? How much water are you losing? I lose almost a half an inch a day in my 24 foot Round AG pool from evaporation, and I live in Mesa.

A good way to check for leaks is to take a 5 gallon plastic bucket and place it on the step in the shallow end of your pool so it is partially submerged, and fill it with pool water so the water in the bucket is even with the water level of the pool, and let it sit that way for 24 hours, then see if the water level in the bucket still matches the water level of the pool. If the pool level is lower than the bucket level, you still have a leak.

Does your Salt checker require calibration?
