Instead I'll tell you what my dad tells his customers when their dogs start swimming in the pools.
"Dogs are usually loaded with lots of harmful bacteria and when the dogs swim in the pool, that bacteria gets into the pool as well. Then, when your kids go swimming, that bacteria gets into your children's ears and causes an awful infection. In most cases the only way to save the their lives is to cut off their heads."

Nice! Funny
If our dog was loaded with bacteria, we'd be in a lot of trouble with or without a pool.

Lots of tap water in this country is chlorinated...

I would suggest not getting a pool at all. I don't have one, but I have several friends that do. They don't use them nearly as much as they thought they would, and all they do is complain about the maintenance.

Living in AZ, it's sooooo worth it. :) Granted, climate of where you live will make a difference.
I do all my yard work in my swim trunks, and just jump in the pool when I start getting overheated. :cheers:

Not only that, you can use plain old bleach (5-6% Cl2) in an emergency to purify drinking water.
