Try to harvest as much rainwater as possible. I try to minimize my fill water (TA 330) usage. During the winter and spring we typically get enough rainfall that I don't need to use fill water. In a summer drought, I'm adding MA twice a week.
We very rarely get rain here in West Texas. It would be nice but we just don't.
No obvious leaks that I am aware of. Our pool is on a concrete slab so you would think I would see it. It is just very dry, hot and windy here
Reading your comment for the first time. Can you elaborate on the acid dosing system please as I am having to add acid CONSTANTLY to keep my pH and TA within range.

Haven't done the bucket method but have turned off the fill water for a few days just to see how much we are losing per day. Only made it 3 days and the level got so low in the skimmer that we were sucking air and got an air lock. Luckily we were keeping an eye on it and it didn't run our pump dry and burn it up.
I do not see water anywhere and my salt has been 3,600 since we started the pool in September. If there was a leak wouldn't we be losing salt?
Maybe but 1” is way too much loss. Can you visually see the overflow drain and confirm it’s dry?
I may have misunderstood “fill water”. Do you have an automatic water filler or do you just add water by dragging a hose over the edge for a bit?
Ah ok, I’d do a bucket test and really measure it. 1” per day water loss sounds worse than actual desert kinda loss. Kinda hoping it’s not that bad.
