You may have a leak. If you add water so that it's up to the middle of your skimmers, and within 12 hours the water level has gone down more than 1/4 inch or so - you probably have a leak. If it takes several days for the level to go down, it's more likely to be evaporation.

How many gallons of water should a swimming pool lose daily?
That all depends on the size of the surface of the pool the amount of people going in and out of the pool etc. To see if a pool is leaking take a bucket of water out of the pool, mark the water level of the pool and the water level in the bucket. Then leave the pool and bucket alone for a day or two. if the water level in the pool has gone down more then the water level in the bucket then there is a leak or water is being removed in some way. If the levels are the same then the water lost is a result evaporation.
Why does the skimmer weir get stuck?
Could be the water level of the pool is too low. Top up with the hose into the skimmer basket.
What does it mean when calcium hardness is low in a pool?
Low Calcium Hardness in pool water means that there is low calcium in the water and is considered "soft" and soft water tends to be corrosive. It will etch away and your plaster and any metal object the pool water touches.
Is there a built in method for water to lower itself in an in-ground pool?
Yes, there is a built in method for lowering the water in an in-ground pool, which high end pool companies use on a regular basis. It is used in combination with the system that also adds water when the level drops too low. About one foot below the surface of the water there is an opening that leads to a chamber built into the side of the pool. When the water is too low a valve (similar to the one in a toilet) opens up and allows water to flow in from your home plumbing. When the level is too high the water flows into a pipe that routes the water to the gravel under the bottom of the pool where it is absorbed by the ground. Works really well!!
You have low chlorine level in above ground pool?
If you are getting a low reading of chlorine in your above ground pool, you should add the appropriate amount of chlorine to get it back to the correct level. This is important to keep your pool running at maximum abilities.
Why is skimmer flushing?
The water in the pool is too low,
Rain is filling the pool and water is too high?
Count your blessings, free water. If you have a salt water pool you are better of hanging on to it because if you dump you weaken the salt in the pool. If you feel that you need to have the skimmer working properly which is important in keeping pools clean you could get a floating pool skimmer which will work whether the water is high or low. Regardless of what you do evaporation will soon bring the water level down again.
How far up the tile should the pool water level be?
Regardless of the position of any tiles on the pool wall The water level should be about 3 or 4 inches / 75-100mm above the top of the skimmer vein before the skimmer basket or at such a level that it does not suck air through the skimmer. of you have a suction side floating pool skimmer you can let it get as high as you like and as long as it is sealed properly as low as you like.
In which ways is a water circuit similar to an electrical circuit?
Water always flow from height to bottom mean high potential level to low potential level same happens in electrical circuit.
