When you say 'fill up the bucket'....are you going almost to the top, as in, 4 1/2 -5 gals every week ?
That 'seems' like a lot, for this time of the year...'?' It has been a pretty warm winter here in central FL....maybe out there too ? If I remeber, your system is on the roof (?)....maybe your having a lot of evap from winds too ? Come summer, this may become even more of an issue.
It's interresting, your 'add up water' has the same PH as your system's water. I'd consider pre-treating the water for ph and chlorine.
