It is the law in Vegas. Spa's and pools have to be drained into the sewer system for reclamation. You are not allowed to let it run outside. So someone is drinking my spa water somewhere in Vegas.Scott 8-)
Actually Scott, You guys have an amazing water system in place, I have read a lot about Las Vegas' water system and their conservation policies, they are great. For those of you that don't know Vegas has 3 separate water systems drinking water, grey water and sanitary sewage. The drinking water is treated and used like most other major cities in Canada and the US. The grey water is a combination of storm water and non potable (bath tub, shower, laundry etc. etc.) that is send to a treatment facility and then sent back to irrigate lawns, fire hydrants and other non potable uses. It really is a great system and is good for the environment. So no one is drinking the water from your spa but they may be watering their lawn or the local fire department could be using your spa water to put out a fire. My hat is really off to the water authority in Vegas and I would love to see more North American cities adopt this type of conservation policy
On the lawn is fine but I would suggest to have the chlorine below 1 ppm. As Chas said, often, it is the most lush part of your lawn!
Honestly, I have drained it with much higher levels with no problems. I just don’t like the idea of letting my chlorine drop that low.
I'm sure many have but giving advise here in general terms, I would rather be cautious in my recommendations than have someone pissed at me for burning their lawn.Does it really matter that the levels drop that low if all you're doing is draining it? :-? On a fresh fill, it is recommended to shock the water anyway so no biggie really.
