The fall season is upon us here in Florida, at least according to the calender. The lower humidity is a welcome relief. The pool and spa water temperature is still warm and comfortable to most people. With these pleasant conditions, though the days can still be hot, comes drier air with steadier breezes. All this results in more evaporation. The drier air, breeze and warm water temperatures lead to greater water loss in your pool or spa. More people now may think their pool leaks when it really does not.
This is an ideal time to simply check the water lost to evaporation, and compare it to the water loss in your pool or spa. All you need is a bucket that does not leak and a little patience. The set-up is described in this website. By running the test, you can see for yourself if there is a real cause for concern, or just Mother Nature creating a false alarm.
