"the pool evaporated a thousand gallons a month"

That's because the pool is not covered. Cover the pool and evaporation will be minimized.

Sure, but what fun is a pool you can't do a cannonball into?
In my city (in Australia) all pools are required to have a cover, and moost have roll-up ones that float on the surface. They're only a couple of hundred dollars but save heaps of water, and unlike the one above you can just reel it in and do a cannonball!
Sure, open it when in use (or get a larger structure). Leave it closed the rest of the time.
