Re: [Killietalk] Water

[Duane Wake <dwake at iopener_net>]

Al, that pool in the backyard will never be a fish pond or water collecting pit as long as I can maintain it for swimming. In the dog days of summer I pull on a pr. of shorts go over to the park and run ( jog) 2-3-4 miles come home and dip in the pool. Then get the chaise out, lay in the sun and let it cook the soreness out of my legs and dip again. After on hour or so of this I`m ready for anything IT DON`T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. Now back to water. I have two test kits for chlorine, the one I use for the pool that goes down to 0.5 ppm and the one I have from Charles that goes to 0.02 ppm but neither one shows any chlorine present. It looks like that I will have to pester the treatment plant people again and find out more about the water supply.         Duane
