    My IG pool is roughly the same capacity as yours.

    A while back we had a 5-6 day period where our weather conditions matched yours listed above. My pool had been holding steady water levels, then during that period lost over 3" of water to evaporation. Now it's holding steady again.

    I was out at dusk one night and you could see the evaporation. It looked like weak dry ice

    I'd run the test but not panic. I feel chances are good it's simply evaporation. There's been similar experiences posted here lately.

    Thanks for the info... I noticed the posts today and was thinking something similar. I will still try the bucket test but will not fire-bomb the old owner's new place.
