This is why I'm glad my grass and shrubs don't turn brown even if I don't water them.
Plastic? |

Damn, I went to school 20 years ago with the kid whose dad just got called out in the paper for using four million gallons. Somehow I used 33k gallons, but aside from my 7 minute shower everyday I don't use much water. Hope I don't have a leak.

Yes. I made a presentation to former Mayor Taylor on rain gardens and tried unsuccessfully to convince her to use stormwater management funds to subsidize a sale of rain barrels for residential use.
The majority of my water use is the pool. It is large (30,000) gallons and we struggled last year to get it clear early in the season. We flushed and flushed and poured way to many chemicals in the damn thing. I figured it cost me $1500 for five months of swimming.
At ten bucks a day, I made the kids swim.
Shock, clarifier, and good filtration. Please tell me you aren't wasting money on liquid polymer type biocides, they won't work well under heavy bio-loading. Call me this spring if you have trouble again and I'll be happy to help you out. Changing out the water and heavy flushing won't make a difference if everything else is out of whack. You need residence time for the chemicals and good filtration. I've owned two houses with pools (one 40K gal the other 15K gal) and seven years of my professional career were spent working as a regional manager with an chemical company specializing in industrial water treatment. I was always amazed at what these snot-nosed kids at pool stores would try to sell me on. |

It takes a LOT of steam and evaporative cooling to refine oil.
