The official goEMAW Swimming Pool thread.
« on: February 23, 2023, 07:24:17 PM »
This is a catch all thread irt swimming pools.  I specialize in equipment installation, equipment preventative maintenance, and equipment repairs.  I cleaned pools for 8 years but none as recently as 13 years ago.  I have never done a structural repair and do not have a shovel on my van.

Now that all that is out of the way, let us talk all things swimming pools.

Folks had a swimming pool.  All kinds of crap drowned in it, rats, racoons, squirrels, etc.

Question 1 of 2: do you maintain these pools shirtless?

Yes, this is owning a pool summed up in 2 sentences pretty much.

When I was young and ripped and cleaned pools, yes.  Now that I do the hard and respectful work, unfortunately no.

Read that as no longer ripped.

This house was destroyed by the tornado 3-4 years ago.  Pool remained, house just finished being rebuilt.

No offense but your wife sounds like the smart one in the family.  You buy a place with a pool if you want one, you do not build one.  Unless pool is life and you are going to be in it all the time.  Still, you buy a place with a pool. 

That is money you will not get back.

No.

Do any of those pools have a cooling system?  Is that even a thing?  Seems like swimming in Dallas in July/Aug would be like taking a gross, sweaty bath.

How many times when you were younger did a super hot MILF come out and do sexy time with you when you were the pool boy?

Is there any reason anyone would choose not to get a saltwater pool (side from being a complete idiot)?

This one has geothermal heating & cooling, do equipment maintenance on many with such.  If I post a pic that has a black and/or silver box then it is geothermal.

Gat dam

Good friend’s parents had a 25ish foot above ground pool that was awesome

Beginning of pandemic neighbor got a 10 foot diameter temporary pool that is about 4 feet deep. Kids love it, has a little filter. Also awesome
