I have a pool and would never swim in a stranger's pool, unless I brought test strips for chemical levels.
My goodness, what a strange comment. Is there some new craze where people are putting poisoned water in swimming pools? I guess I should have done a chemical analysis of all the hotel, motel, neighbor, country club and community pools in which I have swum over the years. Maybe not, as I haven't had an issue with a single one. Are you a vegan, and do you eat a gluten free diet?

Not concerned about adding things, concerned about lack of chemicals. These people are essentially running an unregulated public pool. With the chlorine shortage, I wouldn't be surprised if people skimp on chemicals and open their public pool swimmers to sickness or worse.
Pool chemicals go both ways, too little can cause issues but have you ever swam in a pool with too much chemical? It's far too easy for someone to over chemical water and potentially cause harm. A lot of people like to use pool shock and that alone can do some pretty cruddy things to your skin if you don't wait long enough for the levels to go down. Chemical burns suck just as bad as itchy rashes from no chemicals or out of wack ph.
Test strips it is!

Who stops you from doing that ?
Pools cost a fortune now and some areas have no public pool.
Would definitely do this.

I guess this is another one of those "it's ok to break the law because there's an app on my phone that makes it feel legitimate" kinda things.
But the pools are going for $60/hour in my very average cost of living location.
NO WAY at $60/hour.
