In an emergency, can I drink swimming pool hose down?

If there's an earthquake and water supplies are cut sour, would I be able to drink hose from a swimming pool? If so, how could I tell whether it's sheltered? Yes, If you dont have anything else.
You will die faster lacking any water than from chemicals that are in general present in swimming pool hose down.
No, you cannot. The pool chemicals don't kill rotten all microbes, and drinking significant amounts of the pool chemicals can cause infection (source: san diego OES)
