During the hottest parts of summer, pools can lose quite a bit (1/2 to 1 inch a week) of water due to sunlight, heat, and splash out. There is a simple test you can perform at home to eliminate evaporation as possibility: Bring the pool water to normal level. Fill a five - gallon bucket with pool water to about 1 inch from the top. Place the bucket on the first or second step of the pool. Ensure that the bucket is immersed in the pool at least five inches.

The amount of evaporation from the pool surface is proportional to the difference in the vapour pressures of the air and the water it is also affected by the air movement above the pool and by the amount of activity in the pool i.e.A pool with high occupancy will have a higher evaporation rate than an unoccupied pool.

You didn't mention losing water, so it's not a leak. On the Pool Poll you indicated that you currently have a D.E. filter and I'd guess the sand you see is actually filter powder. If you've had the grids re- skinned recently, they weren't re- assembled properly. If you haven't re- covered the filter grids in the last seven years, I'd say it's a rip in one of the grids. Check with your local pool store about re- skinning the filter grids. Sounds like a great idea if you own the pool company. See similar questions...

The evaporation rate/quantity depends upon weather conditions such as heat, humidity (or lack of), and wind; also, whether there is a fountain, sprayer, or waterfall installed. You can always check with a local swimming pool maintenance company to see what they have found to be normal for your area.

The process of evaporation happens all the time. Our bodies, for example, perspire in hot weather; through evaporation the sweat dries and drops our body temperature. Whenever dry air passes over water, some of the water will be absorbed by the air. That's why evaporative cooling naturally occurs near waterfalls, at rivers, lakes and oceans. The hotter and drier the air, the more water that can be absorbed. See similar questions...

The best way to protect your hair is to wear a swim cap. Always rinse your hair in clear water (not poolwater) after swimming and shampoo if possible. Swimmer's shampoos are more effective than general-purpose shampoos at removing the pool chemicals. Some other suggestions are to wet your hair BEFORE putting the cap on so that the hair is saturated with clear water, not pool water. Some advise putting conditioner on your hair before putting on that cap, but this can get conditioner in the pool. See similar questions...

Shower after you swim and use a mild soap to remove pool chemicals. There are swimmer soaps that are supposed to remove pool chemicals from the skin, or you can use that swimmer shampoo as a body shampoo. You might find that using a exfoliant or scrub puff to remove scaly dead skin will take care of that "fishscale" appearance. Apply a mild lotion while the skin is still moist. Sitting around in a wet bathing suit can result in a rash. See similar questions...

Ponds require occasional topping off losing water to evaporation. This chore can be alleviated with auto-fill mechanisms that add small amounts of water reducing large refills that require chlorine treatments. The difference between a leak and evaporation can usually be determined by how fast water drops. However, this can be tricky since evaporation rates vary by geographic region and pond design.
