Title: Pool base Post by: Snoring Rhino on May 21, 2006, 05:28:49 pm We will have a decent size pool this year, just wondering if we need to take any thing to put down as a base to proctect it from sharpe stones etc - thinking along the lines of nothing to Tarpalin, bubble wrap, to High density foam matting - what have others used?
Title: Re: Pool base Post by: rcutler on May 21, 2006, 06:24:46 pm We had nothing under the pool last year but did take a tarpaulin. Check the ground first and then acess I would say. A standard tarpauling or groundsheet would be fine if the ground is rocky.
MB- Just look out for broken glass, if you can't see it, it probably won't do any harm. Title: Re: Pool base Post by: Snoring Rhino on May 21, 2006, 10:06:36 pm Ok, what about stuff to put in the water? It has a cleaning pump for "larger" debris and circulation but do you put any thing in it to keep the water nice, ok, a lost cause by sunday probably ::)
Title: Re: Pool base Post by: Ferrari Spider on May 21, 2006, 10:15:37 pm We normally find the following formulae works:-
Neat Chloroform 100mL = Number of blokes drinking beer per hour Number of blokes drinking spirits per hour then add a bit extra for all the people that will pee in it during the night because it is there :P Oh don't forget get all bathers to use the porch mat to wipe their feet before plunging.

Thought we we should set up the shower beside it so that people can have a wash down before they get in and have a seat so that we can check for Verruca's. :o Title: Re: Pool base Post by: smokie on May 21, 2006, 11:42:08 pm check for Verruca's. :o Not tried that, what percentage alcohol is it? ;) Title: Re: Pool base Post by: rcutler on May 22, 2006, 12:36:45 am Ok, what about stuff to put in the water?

Title: Re: Pool base Post by: amazing 1 on May 22, 2006, 03:12:32 am I know it would be hard to do,but the best base for plastic lined pool is playground sand.About 2 or 3 inches worth of sand will protect it from any rocks as well as make for a nice cushy base for your arses.Plus what ever is left would make a nice beach. ;D ;D ;D

Alternatively just rely on the fact that most of our arses are well padded enough any how.Title: Re: Pool base Post by: Snoring Rhino on May 22, 2006, 11:06:57 am Ok, what about stuff to put in the water?

Title: Re: Pool base Post by: Ferrari Spider on May 22, 2006, 11:18:49 am This might seem a bit off the wall ;D
If you got enough sand perhaps you could do camel rides out to the virages or other parts of the circuit. See how long before a camel toe pops in ;D Title: Re: Pool base Post by: Snoring Rhino on May 22, 2006, 12:09:39 pm On the subject of Swimming pools and attendants - what ever happed to the Austrailan Swimming instructor?

Its worth noting that in a hot water you could lose about 1.5 litres of sweat per hour. Sweat has nearly the same make up as urine. therefore Pool care is vital to prevent some of these joys.
