Okay...you have gotten my attention AGAIN about the dangers of chlorine in shower water. I see how putting a filter in would help that problem for others, but we have a well, so there is no chlorine in our shower water.

But...does this mean that no rational person should ever go swimming in a chlorine treated pool, much less let their children frolic in the water there? We have a pool, but I am not a swimmer, so it doesn't impact me. We fill it with water from our well -- no chlorine there -- BUT large quantities of chlorine are used over the course of a year to keep the algae under control. And my grandkids DO use the pool. I tried one of the resources mentioned on this forum a year or two ago -- forget what they were called --little copper devices -- anyway, they did not do the trick, even though our pool is not very large or deep.

I was living next door to a doctor back in the sixties. His three kids were in the pool for literally hours every day, being in intensive training for Junior Olympic swimming events over the course of quite a few years. The girls' hair became metallic looking and shiny from the constant chlorine, but I have known those kids for many years -- the oldest is pushing 50 -- and I have not heard of any adverse health outcomes. Yet.

So, I am in a quandary. Fill up our pool with dirt and plant radishes or petunias? (My husband's favorite option!) Invite my worst enemies over for extended pool parties and kill them with kindness? Let the pool go green and pretend we are swimming in the ol' swimmin' hole of our impoverished childhood, or ????

Advice will be appreciated.
