if you have a body of water and you place a filter in it, will the animals not get sick if they drink out of that water? because all of my animals drink out of the pool water and get sick

Hmm... never had this happen before. Are you sure it's the water? Do they get sick after they drink the water. Maybe you haven't put in heating radiators, snow machines for certain animals. Animals can get sick if the weather around them is too cold or hot. :huh:

well when you put the cursor over when theres a message saying an animal is already drinking pool water, it says that it can cause sickness. im sure its the water because most of the time my animals dont need heating and snow machines.

i do put drink troughs, but i think it looks more natural if the animals drink out of a watering hole. and when i make a flamingo exhibit, i put drinking troughs, but theres always a few that drink out of a pool, even when its a small exhibit and the trough is right there

but thank you for your help. i mean it!
