 How much water evaporates from a pool?
I am new to this forum and I look forward to getting to know some of you. We have a 12 x 16 feet pool in Merida and experiencing some serious water loss, I am not sure how much of it should be attributed to normal water evaporation?

 Re: How much water evaporates from a pool?
Hi and welcome! It will depend on the surface area of the pool, the temperature, and the relative humidity and the wind. Generally, you can expect about 1%-3% of typical pool volumes per week. In my pool I am loosing somewhere around ½ inches daily in the summer and less than that in the winter. If you are losing more than an inch a day, you may have your pool checked for leaks.

OK, it appears that we have a leak, what do we do about fixing it? Is there someone in Merida who fixes leaking pools?

 Re: How much water evaporates from a pool?
In most cases fixing it is less problematic than finding it. There are people who find leaks professionally in Merida, I don’t have their numbers but if you go to “Hydrotrol” pool supply located in the back of “Gran Plaza Mall” they will give you this guy’s number there. He will find a leak and your plumber will be happy to fix it for you.
