How is much water shoud you loose in a inground pool?

The amount of water that should be lost in an inground pool depends on several factors, including the size of the pool, the climate in which it is located, and the frequency with which it is used.

As a general rule, you should expect to lose about 1/4 inch of water per week due to evaporation. This amount can be higher in hot, dry climates and lower in cool, humid climates. If you live in a particularly hot and dry climate, you may need to add water to your pool more frequently.

In addition to evaporation, you may also lose water due to splashing, backwashing, and leaks. Splashing can be minimized by covering your pool when it is not in use. Backwashing should only be done when necessary, and leaks should be repaired as soon as possible.

If you are not sure how much water you are losing from your pool, you can perform a simple test. Simply fill a bucket with water and place it in the pool. After a week, measure the amount of water that has evaporated from the bucket. This will give you an idea of how much water you are losing from your pool.

If you are losing more than 1/4 inch of water per week, you may need to take steps to reduce the amount of water loss. This can include covering the pool when it is not in use, backwashing less frequently, and repairing any leaks.
