Title: Draining Spa Water
Post by: dazedandconfused on July 16, 2004, 03:07:05 pm

Will draining spa water into my grass kill it?  I have Burmuda grass and was wondering if all the chemicals will bleach or kill it??

Thanks

As long as you let your sanitizer deplete first your spa water should not hurt your grass.

I third it, in fact the area of my lawn that gets drained onto is by far the best looking part of the lawn, especially now that we are entering drought season.  As soon as the Doc sends my Swirlaway I'll be draining again.

Have you watered the lawn with the water containing the Swirl Away?  I knew you could water with the old spa water as long as chlorine was low, but I wasnt sure with the Swirl Away. Any experience doing so?

I used to drain the family pool on the back yard.

Never hurt the grass...

But would cause to me slip on the west grass and hurt my butt...

No, I haven't as this will be my first use of the product. I'll go ahead and do it as I'm not concerned how my back lawn looks this summer as I cut down a maple tree and have been chopping up roots all over the place. When I'm done I plan on reseeding much of the yard anyway and my yard is secluded enough to no bother my neighbors

Let us know if it does kill the grass with the Swirl Away in it once you get it from Doc and give it a try.

I water my lawn with swirl away.  Never looked better, LOL.  No really, swirl away has had no detrimental effects on my lawn.
