So not to go into a science lecture, water loss is from evaporation. Evaporation is from heat, not wind. That being said, evaporation will vary by several factors, of which wind is one.

The change from liquid to a gas and back can happen fast or slow. It can turn into a gas and stay as a gas. When this occurs, and if the wind is blowing, it will remove or move the gas away from the original source and there fore you can loose more water during the wind. However, when the dewpoint of the air is high you loose less moisture than when it is low or dry.

In other words
If the wind were blowing @ 13mph on a 95 degree day you will loose more pool water than if the wind were blowing at 13mph on a 40 degree day.

Unless of course you fell into the pool and you are splashing and thrashing freezing to death, than the wind would blow all of that splashing water out of the pool, and, you would have major shrinkage:lol:

To convert to pesos, just multiply the figures given by 13.

Reminds me of my youth. Used to swim in Olympic size public pools in Holland. Not exactly the land of sunshine. When standing in line to pay our dime for 1 hour of delight, asking the kids coming out about the water, they used to put up their thumb and indexfinger to indicate the temp. Sometimes clamped together, which meant you came out a queen.:biggrin:

If you have any history with this please let me know.
Thanks


CortezBlue...
If you go over the Campos Ocotilio ....ask around for Kirk and Cybill . LMK Deno sent you over. They have the straw bale house left of the "Y"...with a swimming pool. He's a teacher that has great knowledge on the contractor that built their pool. All of us in the campos are super friendly and dont mind helping out




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
