We need to swim our dog for therapy and we are fortunate that there is an indoor dog pool in our area (she swims in our pool when it is warm enough). Knowing what I know about how most pools are kept, I have finally gotten the courage to ask the owner if I may bring my test kit at my next swim and test the water and she agreed! I believe all chemical balances are the same except that CYA should be 20-30 even with a SWG. With the dog bather load, is there anything else that comes into play? Anyone have a recommendation when a dog has an accident, either urine or feces? She told me today, they had to cancel all swims last Saturday as the first dog of the day had an accident and the turned the SWG to super-chlorinate and re-opened Sunday. I told her that bleach would accomplish the same thing and save the life of her SWG. Any and all information is welcome.
