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

It's the same thing they add to our drinking water except it is below
sensory threshold.

Some of us filter it out after it has done it's duty.

Even below sensory threshold, which is not always true in the case of
drinking water, I don't drink it. There are some theories and articles
floating about that claim dermal absorption of chlorine is a not good
thing, even at low levels.

Thus having said this, hypochlorites are good disinfectants and degrade
rapidly and are good to keep on hand, both in liquid (sodium) and
granular (calcium) form in case of emergencies.

Dummy is right.

Your son is much too young to be left with that pool unsupervised... a
child can drown in less than 2 inches of water. Get rid of that pool
now... before you wish you did. Your child will have more fun cooling
off with a small lawn sprinkler, the water will be clean and at the
same time it'll water your lawn... and no one has been known to drown
from a lawn sprinkler.

I am not offended, but if your child has a skin condition what could
you possibly be thinking allowing him in a pool with algae? Did you
know algae is a pathogen vector for several serious problems to the
skin? How big can an inflatable pool be?

And yes, of course I use chemicals in my in ground pool, but it is
very limited and we keep chlorine to 3ppm. I guess I'm tired of
hearing excuses. If your child has skin problems, a blow up pool may
not be the ideal situation for the child. Get sprinklers. Oh wait,
your water from the hose, if city water, has hundreds of chemicals in
it. Just be careful with algae.

Concerning kids with eczema.

ok, so that's it. i was kinda joking with charlie about playing in
the algae..........sorry if that didn't come across too clear.

the pool is an animal park playground. it's exact measurements are
93in L x 83 in W x 14.5inH. I don't fill it full. it has a main pool
and a wading pool. the main pool area holds 71 gallons and the wading
pool holds 16 gallons. there are little holes in all corners to let
over-flow out. it also has an inflatable slide and a palm tree water
sprayer. so that's a lot of air! especially when using my own air to
blow the thing up.........

I guess I'm tired of hearing excuses.

wasn't trying to make excuses..........

My pool has 3ppm and my tap water has 5ppm of chloramine...which is
harder to detect because it doesn't have a harsh smell.

Not to mention rats, mosquitoes are both vectors for more serious
pathogens.

is there anything i can add to the water (besides chlorox) to keep the
mildew and algae from building up in it? i need something that will be
gentle to his skin. currently, i am draining the pool and cleaning it,
then filling it back up again the next time i need to work in the
garden. with the drought, i need to cut it back on water use. does
anyone have any suggestions on what i can use to let the water last a
few days before i need to drain and clean again?

thanks,
