    Pool chemistry is changing

    Hi everyone I’m losing my chemistry in the pool, I’m assuming it’s leaking somewhere. Water level goes down 1/4 inch a day, and I thought it’s normal evaporation, but I turned off the pump for 3 days and water level went down 1/4 inch in 3 days. Any thoughts? Please help.
