As in, compared to a typical public pool? I'm looking for more "ool" and less "p" if you catch my drift.

I'm also concerned about other disease causing matter Battling the Parasite in Your Local Pool - WSJ.com

I have been swimming in that area many times and nothing has fallen off yet.

It has gotten worse from what I have read. That is a crying shame.

Texans have messed with Texas! Please stop.

BSP is very clean water, but it is not chlorinated, so there is always the risk of some bacterial infection. In reality, the springs are cleaner than they ever were before - the creek, which is full of natural runoff fecal choloform (animal created), is re-routed around the pool. The springs themselves are pretty much as clean as someone's well water.

Enjoy it before the rich people pave over the hill country and route the runoff directly into the aquifer.

Someone mentioned to me the other day that the whole volume of the pool is flushed out each day. Plus it is pretty chilly so bacteria prob dont grow that well in it.
