cant u fill it with a hose??

 

I didn't know they deliver water, we normally fill our pool with the waterhose. It takes about 2.5 days to fill.

 

It's much cheaper to have it delivered.

 

Sweet fucking pool by the way! I love the bar! But 7 year project? Doesn't that make you like 6 years old when they started?

 

^^^ How much cheaper is it?

 

Check your phone book or search online for a local contractor and get a quote. They come in with a tractor trailer sized truck and pump it in.

 

yes..... it's about 250-500 depending on water

our water bill monthly is already higher than that lol

we did all the work (Brother, cousin, me)=

pool house= stained, working shower/bathroom

pool=painted, pretty much cleaned, buying water pump for slide (distroyed over the years)

now this is what happened...........

i was 1 and my parents bought the house. For that summer, the pool was clean and quite nice and all that jazz....... was used alot for the next 2 years
winter came hard and we covered that pool........... never took the cover off lol it was 1992 or 1993
when we drained it, the water was green and we found multiple animales including turtles, fish......etc


does any1 lik a particular system like salt-based clorinators, the baqusil clorine-free systems, or the regular chorline systems??? we havnt decieded yet and we need to.

thanks

 

oooo srry we only emptied it last summer, paintd it last summer, and painted it again for the last 3 days

the pool is around 10-13 ft deep

 

how the HELL did FISH get in there?

 

That's a nice pool. I'm jealous.


But get that fucking leaf out of the water.

 

we used baqusil bc chlorine is the sux0rs

 

i want a pool ... or a house for that matter

 

????????????? there is no water (paint???)

 

dunno..... it was pregant too with the turtles????

 

likes? dislikes?

 

 

i mean i was younger so i dont know. it didnt hurt your eyes or taste like shit like chlorine. plus chlorine is supposed to be bad for some x amount of reasons.

 

That might not be a leaf

 

Sorry. I'm a douche bag and a retard.

A friend of mine's family had a "swamp pool" - really dark water, leaves on the top - you couldn't see anything in there. His little brother comes home from fishing with a sunfish in a bucket and throws it in. Nobody ever saw it again until 3 months later when I caught it with a fishing rod. No joke.

 

Be careful, somebody will 'borrow' that as their sig text.

 

How much had it grown?

 

This much --> /----\

 

Sweet pool…..

I’m not a fan of Baqusil or any of those newer “environmentally safe” water treatment systems.
My family has had pools since I was like 8-years old and it seems I’ve always been the one maintaining them.
I like to KILL the germs in the water, not have some other organism “eat” or “neutralize” them.
I also feel safer having chlorine in the water if kids are over and you never know what might “accidentally” happen in the water.

I currently have an 18 x 33 FT pool at my house and use the 2” chlorine tablets and the occasional bag of “shock” to keep the water clean.
Never had a problem with algae or other containments in my water.

Many pool manufacturers won’t warranty pool/filter parts if you use Baqusil.
The place I go to has a big sign on the counter stating this.

Winterizing is easy.
Balance the chemicals in the water, buy a winterizing kit that’s properly sized and cover up the pool.
Disconnect the filter and make sure all the water is out of areas that will freeze.
Except for making sure there’s not too much water/debris on the cover, you can pretty much forget about it until spring.

 

that is why i asked about the salt-based cholinators or smthing........... 2 year warrentary, easy use and stuff like that......... inital price is devistating tho

 

thats a damn big pool. it goes all the way to the house.

no offense, but why are you on this board if youre 13??

 

I'm amazed that getting someone to deliver water is cheaper than opening the tap yourself. Where does the supplier get the cheap water from?

 

Huh?

 

No city water here.
I have a well in the back yard and I would have burned it up if I tried to fill our 18,000 gallon pool.
I went with a place called: Aqua Duck and it cost like 400-bucks.
Two 18-Wheeler tankers of 7,000 gallons each and then I topped it off over the next few days with the hose.

 

......................................... and y didnt u ask me this a few months ago???

 

the fish, when we drained the pool, was pregnant

BTW, just took out the underwater light in the pool...... replacing it

(it's 500 watts)

 

I often see them hooking up to fire hydrants around here.

 

how deep???

 

How the hell are you 13 and why do you care? I am 21 and have no idea what kind of shit is in my pool, but meh I don't care for that kinda stuff.

As for the fish we have an old fishtank in the backyard with plants growing out of it so a few years ago we drop in 5 gold fish. Now there is one huge one, what he eats? I dunno but that bitch is the size of my cell phone

 

cuz im the only one who takes care of the pool...... just like im the only person who washes our cars.....


Y do u care about me caring???

 

Don't worry younging wasn't putting you down. Was actually suprised someone your age actually does constructive shit. Most 13 year olds I knew smoked pot and ran around like idiots. Good job mayn
