Getting ready to put away the pool for the winter, all ready, and was
curious if the water would be OK to top off ponds? Obviously the chlorine
content would be higher than say normal city tap water, but is it too high?
I only have lilies and goldfish in the ponds. I'd be adding probably 10-20%
of the total capacity of the pond with the pool water. I have well water, so
no chlorine in water to begin with.

Pool water, I would think, would be very hard and contain a lot of build-up
of chemicals/salts/metals. Because it is never removed, just made up for
evaporation. I wouldn't use it. I wonder what the nitrate level of pool
water would be? ~ jan
