Well, there's a water shortage over here. I just can't imagine dumping that water in the sewer. I"m willing to take some risk. But I'm interested in hearing of anyone who does routinely or at least once in a while.

Hi, I’m newly in SF bay area. My house has fresh water pool with a CYA of 70. My thought was to use pool water to water the numerous trees and plants (no grass) and slowly dilute out the CYA to 50 over the summer. So my question: 1. How low does the FC need to be used on plants...

Hi, I have an inground gunite pool, that is unfortuantely right next to the woods with overhanging beautiful scrubs and such. I neglected it for several weeks, but for the last 2 weeks its been adequately chlorinated etc. CYA 48, with FC 2 to 7. The water is crystal clear. What I don´t get...

But getreal720 —— i’m only consuming 3.5 FC of chlorine in 24 hours! Its been like that for several days. Shouldn’t I be consuming more and more chlorine??

Thanks. What should I do next? (please pretend I don't know what I'm doing--its mostly accurate ) I did the FAS DPD test last night, 10ml, used 28 drops. This morning I did it again, and used 25 drops. Does this mean I have algae?

HELP—- I have a weird situation where on opening this year, my pool water is green——but I don’t think its Algae!! What else could it be??? I’m desperate! Thank you for any any in advance. I’ve had the chlorine level over 10 for several days, and the pool doesn’t look any better. I took the...
