Since you are in Winter Springs, Swim N Fun should ring a bell. That was my second home for five years. I have tested many swimming pools at over 3500 ppm TDS without any correlation to algae growth. I also had a customer with a pool that hadn't been drained since 1958 and was just as easy to care for as a new one.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14533063#post14533063 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Lowredranger
I think the water going into the pool is fine as long as you are not having any algae issues. The reason the pool guy doesn't want the water in the pool is for the same reason you don't want the water in your fish tank, it will cause algae if the tds level in the pool gets too high.
I am currently letting mine go into the pool and figure when summer comes if i am having algae issues i will stop and start watering the plants with it again.
If you take your water to a pool store and have it tested a lot of times they will test for tds. I am not sure what the recommended level is for a pool but you could always have it tested and then in a month or so see where your levels are.

TDS isn't really anything to worry about in a swimming pool as long as normal chemistry is kept up. RO waste is perfectly fine for top off.
