> Are you going to apply the same standard to every house with a swimming pool, every municipal storm drain that collects rain water having passed over the ground in nature where there are untold strains of bacteria and every other system handling thousands of gallons of unfiltered water?
All of those are regulated and studied.
- AnthonyMouse 4mo agoIf by "regulated and studied" you mean there are some laws that people regularly pay no attention to and aren't even aware exist, and some random sampling of a minuscule proportion of storm water for a minuscule subset of possible contaminants, and not even that much in many jurisdictions.
- watwut 4mo agoPeople dont need to pay attention, because when you buy a pool or pool chemistry, it already follows applicable regulations. The companies doing the work also know them. > some random sampling of a minuscule proportion of storm water for a minuscule subset of possible contaminants The whole point of random sampling is to ensure you need as miniscule amount of water as possible. These tests checking likely polutants is also not a bad thing. Are you claiming these pools are massively poluting water? Or are you just angry that potentially large polutants are not allowed to just do what they want?
