rainwater

Its a lovely rainy day today, and the rainwater from part of our roof runs into the pool. Nice fresh water. We did th during the drought when we had water restrictions. But this could cause problems if it rained heavily - diluting the pool chemicals and causing a green change. It also prompted frogs to call and get into the pool so we had dead frogs floating there.

And if the pool should run over then we had salt and other chemicals flowing over our garden and poisoning our soil.

But today with the pool overflowing Charles's little sister can happily sit in the water and the grand old fig tree behind the pool is gtting clean, fresh water into its soil.

But I will have to reduce the level once it stops raining so the skimmer can work.
