    Pool water to irrigate: How low FC?

    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.

    Pool water to irrigate: How low FC?

    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...

    Green water but not algae????

    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?
