About a ince a week is very normal the wind will cause you to loose more water than evaporation also warm water and cool nights do not help either would do bucket test before the pool builders come back

Do you have a gate valve on the waste pipework as sometimes water can pass to waste through the multivalve I had 3 multivalve s and all did it so fitted a valve on the waste to stop it

Thanks that’s a great idea

If you don’t have an automated top-up system, then surely hourly checks on your water meter should confirm whether it is a leak or not.

Two inches a week is very normal during summer weather, also nobody has suggested to you that when the pool is cleaned, you loose at least an inch when doing a back wash and rinse, in the past when I have had my doubts I have compered my pool levels with both my neighbours pools by taking note of what tile the pool level is on.
If you want to be absolutely sure you have an 8x4 pool which equals 89 million 465 thousand egg cups, divide that by 365 days of the year, then take into consideration 18,5 litres of rain fall, plus 3.6 million egg cups of evaporation, you will then know that you have a perfect pool.

Actually..
an 8M x 4m pool is 32cum per metre deep, a standard egg cup is 15ml, so its 2,133,333 eggcups per metre deep. Since pools tend to slope at one end, we can take an average depth as say 3m, making it 6.4m egg cups, approximately.
The average rainfall in Quesada, according to NetWeather is 437mm of rain per metre per year, thus adding 13,900 Litres per year, not including any runoff that flows in, or 1,.6L an hour, not enough to compensate for the 10L an hour loss previously calculated.
BTW, not wanting to be picky, but you 'lose an inch", not "loose " it. Its already loose, its a liquid. After all. if you 'loosed' it, it would then be 'loost' and not 'lost'......but you would still be a loser, and not looser, unless you had an enema.....semantics is such a wonderful topic, dont you think ?
Your welcome.
