Hi RyanWaters,
You should not be losing more than a 1/4" of water per day due to evaporation. If you are loosing 1" per day then you have a leak somewhere. The typical places to look for a leak would be anywhere where plastics meets the pool (i.e. light niche, skimmer, return jets, main drain etc..). You can use a dye leak detection kit to try and find the leak yourself, or I have had better success hiring a professional leak detection company, they typically charge $300-$400 to detect the leak.
Thank You
