Winter water loss
I am a very new pool owner. I have a 24 foot above ground pool. I have noticed some water loss about a quarter inch per day. The pool has a cover on it. Is this normal or should I suspect a leak. Also if there is a leak I know I’ll have to wait till spring should I just keep adding a little water here and there to keep the water level just below the skimmer?

Re: Winter water loss
If you have an AGP then any water loss would be noticeable, I would suspect evaporation. You could do a bucket test to check if it's evaporation
Winter rain would keep it topped up depending on where you are and if you winterise

Re: Winter water loss
You nearly fill a bucket with pool water and place on a step or suspend in the pool
Measure (mark) where it's level is and also the pool level
If after a few days they have both gone down the same amount then it's evaporation
If the water in the pool has gone down more than the bucket you have a pool leak
