If you look very carefully at the picture I posted, you will see that the sprinkler head is aiming DIRECTLY into our pool and as these things are like water cannons, then we are talking about a lot of gallons of water every minute that it is on!

As we are now fairly sure that this has been going on for months, if not years then collectively, we are talking hundreds if not thousands of gallons of unsafe water going into the pool, that we, family and friends use to swim in.

The normal tests that are done for normal pool checking DO NOT check for the range of contaminants that could potentially be in this water and for TV to test the water for the full range of possibilities to our satisfaction, would cost several thousands of dollars, far more expensive than emptying the water, cleaning the pool interior, changing the filters and refilling the pool, which would likely cost just a few hundred dollars.

The situation so far is that we have contacted the golf course manager, a guy named Brad, who says he has to talk to the Water Managment people and also his own Manager, before he can accept responsibility!!!!! - WHY?

Then we have had a call from the Water Managment Company, a guy called Tye, who admits that HE would not drink the water from the sprinkler heads- so is it safe in our pool or what????? - but he was evasive and would not commit himself and agree that the water may/does need changing.

Our pool was filled and is topped up with potable drinking water and obviously with rain water, but even the rain water volume pales into insignificance to the amount of contaminated water that the golf course water cannon sprinkler head has been pumping into our pool every three nights for goodness knows how long - not happy.

Does anyone have Dan Newlans telephone number?

Did you ever wonder why you never had to add water to your pool during dry periods?
