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?

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.

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  ::)

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

We will have chlorine and anti-algae stuff that you can make use off, there is enough in the pack we bought for about 5 LM trips.

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

Maybe we should get a tipper truck of the stuff delivered, I'm sure they wouldnt mind! Alternatively just rely on the fact that most of our arses are well padded enough any how.

Your a star Rick, will take you up on that (I think our pool os a smaller version of yours).

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

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.

Examples of exogenous pool associated ingested infectious agents
Faecal - oral
bacteria  -
Eschericia coli O157 (VTEC)
Viruses -
adenoviruses;  Norwalk-like viruses (NLV; formerly small round structured viruses, SRSV); hepatitis A
Protozoa
Cryptosporidium; Giardia
 
or

Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC, e.g.E coli O157:H7)
Severe bloody diarrhoea with cramping abdominal pains developing 1 – 10 days after exposure
Self resolving in 5 – 10 days except
Some cases, particularly under fives, develop haemolytic uremic syndrome
Acute renal (kidney) failure
3-5% die
Very low infectious dose
Some pool outbreaks
Sensitive to chlorine

or

Hepatitis A
Virus
Transmission: faecal – oral
Ingestion of contaminated                                food / water
Close contact
Incubation 2 weeks – 6 months; mean 28 days
Symptoms – aches & pains, dark urine, diarrhoea,fatigue, fever, nausea, jaundice, pale faeces

or

Norwalk like virus (NLV)
Outbreak in an Ohio school in 1977
103 students had vomiting, cramping and nausea
Disease strongly associated with swimming in a pool
Caused by inadvertant disconnection of chlorinator

or

Cryptosporidium parvum
Swindon/Oxfordshire 1989, 500 cases
Milwaukee 1993, 400,000 cases with 4,000 hospital admissions
survives for several months in water
Swimming pool outbreaks relatively common
Resistant to chlorine

or

Waterborne Giardiasis
Symptoms
Diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting
Infectious dose small
Transmission
Contaminated food/ water, close contact with animals / humans, swimming

or
 
folliculitis is a superficial skin infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
It occurs following exposure to inadequately maintained pools / spas
The rash can appear 12 hours to 2 days following exposure
It itches, but usually resolves spontaneously

Have fun in those pools.

We just dangle one of those Mergeuz Sausages you buy at Tertre Rouge corner in the pool. Seems to kill everything.
