| Where I live swimming pools are everywhere. How many GW members have incorporated swimming pools in their Japanese gardens? If so, how do you keep chlorine from killing the plants? |

| Chlorinated pools work as long as there is an impervious liner and splashing is not a huge problem. I have had waterfalls with chlorinated water running near wood fern, maples, and juniper with no ill effects. Continued splashing without leaching would be a problem. |

| I would think that splashing is always present in a swimming pool, and I don't know if it should be called "a problem." After all, that's what swimming pools are for. |

| Go for it Kieth the swimming pool sounds really appropriate, maybe you could even incorporate a diving board in the style of a torii or even a church steeple? |

| I just installed above ground swimming pool 33'round.Is it a good idea to backfill low spots and surrond entire pool with pea gravel? |
