PoolDoc,

>You might want to get a 25,000 gallon pool for the plants and a 5,000 gallon Intex pool for the dogs.

Right. I suspect 2 or 3 pools would work nicely. With multiple tanks, the problem of one leak draining everything goes down.

I've been worried about the chlorine issue. I don't want to run a 'chlorine' purified pool. If possible, I'd do a lot of circulation and keep fish and plants in the water, too. We live on a river that flows except for August - October, so we all are used to swimming with fish. I have a 4 pond water garden system. One pond is a just a filter, another is full of plants. Fish roam around in all but the filter pond. The water in the fourth tank stays pretty clear.
