I plumbed the waste water from my RO into the pool and I have not had
to add water since.

Now that's a really good idea! That water is just wasted now. My RO is
in a location where that would be very practical for me to do that. But
when I'm away from home for an extended period of time there is no waste
RO water being generated.

RO kicks out about 5 gallons of waste per gallon of RO. If you're losing
150 gallons daily from the pool, you'd need to be consuming 30 gallons
of RO per day to keep up.

If I was losing 150 gallons a day I would be looking for a wet spot in
the yard. That is a pool leak.

That was the figure the OP gave in the OP.
