Default Can anyone help on Cryptosporidium in water

Im moving house to Northampton soon and the water supply there has a
outbreak of Cryptosporidium at present and people are being told to
boil water before giving to pets and humans using it.

Does anyone know where I stand as far as using it cos I need to store
fish in a small swimming pool until I get the pond sorted.


Fish are affected by it although it might not be the same strain. A
reverse osmosis unit will produce water free from it and a lot cheaper
than boiling but you won't get a lot of water a day. I saw one recently
(Practical Fishkeeper I think) that cost œ100 and did 100 gallons a
day.
