Question HOW OFTEN SHOULD AN INGROUND POOL HAVE TO HAVE WATER ADDED, SO THAT AIR DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE FILTER. HOW MUCH WATER WILL EVAPORATE, AND HOW QUICKLY.
Answer Depending on how much rain and how often you backwash or vac to waste.In worse case scenario maybe 2 inches a week.Water should be kept half to three quarters up the skimmer wall.Lynn[Depending on where you leave 1 inch during hot weather,In ohio where I live ,I never add in June.Seems the rainfall is adequate.July and August an inch a week at most.]
