No, but I've seen many, many sea nettles. Also, owning a home pool,
I've read a lot about commercial pool water quality. At least the urine
and feces that makes it's way to a lot of waterways is treated first!

As far as the urine and feces that making it's way to the waterways
being treated, you are incorrect. Many cities, including Atlanta, have
problems with untreated waste making it way into the waterway,
especially when the system is overloaded by heavy rains.

Very few of the livestock owners I'm familiar with have their own treatment
plants.

On many lakes and coves, it is fairly common for geese and other
wildlife to cause extremely high bacteria count that result in beaches
being closed for extended periods. The truth of the matter, lakes,
oceans, bays and pools can all have problems with fecal matter. It is
fairly easy to correct a pool problem by shocking the pool with
chlorine. It is not quiet as easy in a open water.

It is, and it isn't. If shocking isn't done correctly, and shock levels
kept at the correct levels for the correct amount of time, then it
doesn't do much good. Also, you don't shock a pool to get rid of fecal
matter, urine and such, the level of constant chlorine sanitation
should do that. Shocking is used to get rid of the chloramines, which
are a biproduct of the chlorine doing it's job. Also, the level at
which to get the pool chlorine up to to shock is not a constant, and
even most pool people don't know this. Most people think that they need
to maintain X amount of chlorine regardless. BUT, the parts per million
of constant chlorine as well as the shock levels are dependent on the
amount of stabilizer in the form of cyanuric acid available. Take for
instance if your stabilizer is 10 to 20 parts per million, you need a
constant chlorine level of 2 to 5 ppm, and 5 to 12 ppm to shock. If
your stabilizer is at 60 to 90 ppm, then you need 5 to 10 ppm chlorine
and 20 or more to shock. Now here is the clincher. People who use
chlorine pucks are putting more and more CYA into the pool, thereby
needing more and more chlorine that they don't know about. That's why I
use plain bleach, as instructed by a person that knows more about pool
chemistry than anybody I've ever seen.

I am sure the pool at the marina is properly maintained. As I said
originally my wife and daughter will probably use when while I putz
around the boat when we cannot go out because of the Lake condition.

Warnings are often put out locally for bathers to stay out of the Potomac
because of high fecal matter content.

Are you talking about Reggie posting as Reggie, or Reggie posting as one
of his 50 other identities here?

I killfile 'em fast as I can.


If someone here is going to keep posting total number of posts as proof of
disruptive behavior, I may take Smithers lead and create a few alais also.

He's already in my bozo bin. He's one of Reggie's altered egos?

Nope, that's Tom.
