If you urinate in the pool enough, you don't need chemicals, cause germs think that's nasty and they don't want to live there anymore.

pools are a bish. we've got black algae that needs to be physically scraped.. and its pretty much invisible... its been a common thing in the area.. the water needs to be tested regularly.. if you have a pool supply place near by.. take them a water sample (taken from about 2 ft from the surface) and they'll tell you what needs to be done.

ya you can do that. just make sure to keep the water draining and not stop until its empty.. otheriwse you'll have ring-around-the-toilet, er pool. same with filling it up.. dont stop the water flow.

our bill didnt increase that much at all last year with the initial fill up.. you'd be suprised.
