If the water is properly cleaned and treated before swimming, it can be safe to use rain run-off in a pool.

It is safe do to so depending on how much snow there is. Start off with standing on a ladder and shoveling it off of the roof. Get as far up as you can and then you can slowly ease your way onto the roof.


Does the angle of the roof of a house affect the amount of rain that you can collect in rain barrels?

Providing the roof covers the same surface area in plan view (looking down from above it, i.e. the ground area covered), then the rain landing on it will be the same. In other words, a high pitched roof would have to be bigger to cover the same plan view surface area as a low pitched roof. For a given area covered by a roof, the pitch of the roof won't matter. If the pitch is so steep that the rain flows off it so fast that your gutters can't cope, then you will lose the rain and fail to collect it. What you need to maximise is the ground area covered by roof. This will maximise the rain you can collect.

What is the proper distance a pool should be from the house?

If your zoning board has no restrictions as to how far a pool needs to be from a structure then my advice would be place the pool far enough away from anything that a person might jump off of. example, trees ( besides the cleanup in the pool caused by them) patio roof, sheds, house poles. Remembering when i was a kid we had a pool that we could jump off the patio roof into the pool. My brother did this and ended up splitting the metal side of the pool and ended up swimming in the back yard

If i can jump at least 10 feet on my vertical jump and i need to jump 12 feet and 6 inches to make it into the pool would i make it if i jumped off a 9 foot roof?

It would depend on how far the roof was from the pool! If, for example, the 9 foot roof was in the next town, I would say it is rather doubtful.
