Re: Plants???
Hey wipple, Finally got a digital camera. So, here are some photos of our pool and the plants that we have around it.

From previousally, we just switched to BBB. The Gulf Stream Nandina next to the flag got some high chlorine water on it and it damaged it to a certain degree. You can sort of see it on the leaves at the top (3rd link). The water dripped on it when I was taking a sample out of the pool after I added some chlorine. The water was probably 7-8 ppm. So, I know now not to let the high chlorine concentration water get on the plants. I haven't noticed any problems with the lower concentration water.

Re: Plants???
The tap water that you use to water the landscape often contains 3 or even more ppm chlorine. Most plants won't be at all affected by normally chlorinated pool water. Salt, on the other hand, can be pretty tough on many plants.
