Podcast: Play in new window

Tom: I don’t know if I’d put it in the pool because it’s going to have mold and mildew and stuff in it. The water’s very pure. It’s actually distilled water. You could do it in plants and stuff, and we could do more of that, but I don’t know if I’d put it in a pool, only because in those pipes you grow mold and mildew and stuff and so it’s going to transfer all that stuff into the pool, too. But, I don’t think it would kill anybody. It would so little compared to how much is in a pool that eventually you get through the filter.

Charlie: Oh, no.

Tom: I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Charlie: The reason I’m wondering, if he’s got enough coming out of that to fill his pool, I think he has other issues he needs to consider looking at first.

Tom: Yes. Well, I think he just needs something better to do and during the day instead of think about things like this.

Charlie: Yeah.
