Testing the chlorine content with the test kit <br />(standard pool equipment) will give you the chlorine content of the water. In <br />most instances, three to four days will be sufficient to eliminate chlorine from <br />the water. <br /> <br />98. It is recommended that swimming pool water, free of chlorine, be discharged <br />to the ground surface (i.e. lawn). The discharge should be directed onto a <br />vegetated surface to encourage infiltration. The discharge should not flow <br />onto any other persons’ property or create nuisance conditions. If the <br />discharge flow is to occur across bare soil areas, care should be taken to <br />prevent soil erosion. This can be done in several ways. The flow rate can be <br />reduced to prevent erosion (use a small diameter hose), additional piping or <br />hose can be placed over the erosive area to prevent soil/water contact, <br />and/or sod can be laid in the bare area. <br />Excerpt from the MPCA swing pool discharge practices wq-wwprm 2-03 <br />October 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />End of Comments and Corrections List
