effect of soap on pool water

[Johnny B]

Not interested in full body lathering up then jumping in the pool, but what effect does soap have on the water chemistry? Soap should be avoided? Some is ok? I soap up & hose off but wonder how good good of a "hose off the soap" is needed? Thank

While you should definitely hose off, a little soap isn't going to make much difference in the pool.
