How much Evaporation is normal in Florida

Thank you!
I will try this. How offen do you add water to your pool?

While not in Florida we are in South Texas. The pool water temperature is in the low 90s with nightime air temps in the upper 70's. We tend to use our pool for at least 10 months out of the year. Starting in June I begin to notice an increase in evaporation. We tend to get the majority of our rain in May but this year it's been dry. I added water to our 26000 gallon above ground pool last night for the first time in 3 weeks. The bucket technique works well for detecting leaks.

I'm here in Florida as well. Since it's heating up, the evaporation level will start to pick up. General rule of thumb is anything more than 1/2 inch a day, and you need to watch it.

In addition to doing the bucket test, at the same time take a pencil, bend over the edge of the pool, and mark the level of the water on your tile.

This will give you a second reference point to the bucket test.

Check the level of the pencil mark, versus the bucket marks on both the inside and out to double gauge what's going on.
