You may recall a post of a few days ago that included this pic of the locked gate at our neighborhood pool. I commented on the fact that there was no reason posted for the pool closure.
Well, the neighborhood newsletter came out on Friday and revealed the pool had to be drained because of high ammonia levels. You know what causes high ammonia levels in swimming pools? That’s right, urine. The newsletter implored swimmers to use the bathrooms at the pool and for parents to keep diapers on their babies and toddlers.
Many people make fun of me for eschewing swimming pools as big tanks of pee. They always point out that the chemicals in the water take care of such sewer-like characteristics. I feel vindicated.
