Does really windy weather make pool water evaporate?

by Tropic Gal » Tue 18 Mar, 2008 14:46

First post

I seem to lose water in my pool a lot quicker when it is really windy - does this make sense?

Last post

Four things effect evaporation.

1 Water temperature

2 Dew point temperature

3 Air pressure

4 Wind

Wind is a big factor.
