Default pools - slightly off topic

Sorry, there is no excuse for this. I don't tip toe around and I also
don't apologize for it. It is a BLOW UP POOL. I have a fifty foot
long pool and don't have this much trouble.


and it takes how long to drain and clean and re-fill?? oh, yeah, you
must use chemicals then huh?

just because it is inflatable doesn't mean that it is something easy to
do everyday. personally, i didn't know that my post was causing so much
up-roar as you put it. i simply asked if anyone knew of anything i
could use to keep from having to re-fill it everyday. we are in a
drought and trying to preserve water. we are now 13+ inches below. i
make my own household cleaners, so i thought maybe someone on here knew
of something that was non-chemical that i could use. my son has severe
eczema, and i am careful what i use around him. he cannot play in
"bigger" pools that require chemicals because of the severity of his
skin condition. besides the drought, i have a very busy home-based
lifestyle, which sometimes prevents me from being able to clean the pool
right away. while it may be inflatable, it is not a very small pool. it
takes time to deflate and re-inflate. add to that the non-existence of
an air pump or air compressor to our household. so, in short, i was
looking a way to simplify the task, also. i have had several replies
(is that what you were calling up-roar??), and to be nice, i like to
reply back. my reply to Janet was simple enough - she knows what it is
like with kids with eczema, she has given me a few tips in the past on
this. i also took Charlie's advice to recycle the water by using it on
the garden, which in short helps conserve the water we have.

however, i will apologize that my posts (and it's subsequent posts) have
offended you. for that i am truly sorry.............
