    Tough question to answer, but 3x a week is pretty high. Evaporation depends on MANY factors, but as a comparioson, My pool sits in a very open area, susceptible to wind and always in full sun, however i do not have to top it up THAT frequently, even if i keep it uncovered. We are in Ontario, where our summers are HOT and HUMID.

    It sounds as though a bucket test might be in order here. Place a bucket on your first step of the pool and fill to the same level as the pool. If the pool drops faster than the bucket, you have a leak.
