Re: 100% death.
Thanks for the info Dwight. I'd never worried about a garden hose in the
past. Of course, real men don't use garden hoses. :) I use a bucket to
fill up mypool, and always make sure the lip is aobove ground to avoid
run-off. Ok, thre real reason I use a bucket is because the hose was
tossed for leaking, and I'm too damned cheap to buy one.... :)
