chem geek said:She drinks a LOT of water (actually, just closer to the daily recommended amount, but compared to me that's a lot) so the "need" is not surprising and in practical terms it's mostly water in / water out. I don't mind at all and am glad that I at least know about it so I won't fret about where the extra chlorine consumption might be coming from!
If she does drink a lot of water, her urine should be quite dilute, thus not so bad for the pool chemistry. :lol: I drink a lot of water too.
A composting toilet is on my wish list! It could be shared by the pool and workshop which are adjacent. That way, if DH gets really busy on a project in his shop, he won't have to come in the house to go potty. I keep coming up with ideas that take little "nips" out of his workshop. First there's the area for the dogs (doggie door to the outside so they can let themselves in during a storm; enclosed area inside so they don't run around all over the shop). Then I thought we could put a "people door" on the pool side of the shop and a little changing area/toilet stall partitioned off inside. More recently, DH commented that someone could actually sleep out in the shop if we had lots of company; of course then I thought of preparing a little guestroom area. . .
Oops, I hope I haven't gone TOO far off topic!
