Pool Losing Water in Ramona, CA
A Ramona pool showing a pool that keeps losing water usually has a short list of likely causes. More than about a quarter inch a day beyond normal evaporation usually means a plumbing, shell, or fitting leak. Ramona runs on Ramona Municipal Water District at 12-16 gpg, which is hard water. Around here that means hard well water and heavy seasonal debris wearing down equipment on larger rural lots, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Ramona and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
