As for a update on this swimming pool project as if now it looks like it would be cheaper for me to get a 2400 to 7500 gallon fish tank then to try to convert a swimming pool to a fish tank. But I'm still open to this idea of turning a swimming pool to a fish tank if I buy a house with a...

I remember seeing it in the Show Life After People that when reinforced concrete decays water gets into the steel and rusts causing it to gain in volume that pushes the concrete apart.

I think what brings down a pool in terms of it getting filled in and abandoned is poetical like if a new owner has small kids or doesn't want to take care of a pool. My question is would anyone count a pool that was built in the 1950's was used for 20 years with water in it and then filled in...

I've seen people add goldfish and kio to abandoned swimming pools and they eat the bugs. The biggest thing though would be dead leaves and sticks getting in their and making it really flifty. So they could possibly add a bird net or a net tent over the swimming pool to keep out leaves and sicks...

I'm glad someone else on this forum has a idea like I have. What I have been doing lately is looking for houses with old abandoned swimming pools on them. If I happen to get a house with a abandoned swimming pool on it in need of major repairs. I plan on tearing out one of the walls. And having...

I'm currently working on a idea that would use old fish tank water from a 500 gallon goldfish tank and send it though a system of gravel filters to have it enter a toilet. The toilet would be sealed off from the house water system by getting all of it's water from the fish tank. But the idea...

I think I would empty out the pool with a fish pond pump and then get a pressure washer and wash and bleach the whole thing down after draining it.

This is another one of my threads to address the droughts in the Western States. This idea is that it might be possible to set up a feeder line from a swimming pool's filter pump and have it supply water to a toilet to reuse the water. The fresh water that would normally go to the toilet would...

I have a question how much did it cost to build your swimming pool's giant viewing windows such as did you build them your self?" I'm right now looking in to the idea of building a large natural swimming pool or a large fish tank that will be both a swimming pool and a fish tank for my group of...

I once did that once with a large air filled pool at the time where I set it up and filled it up with water. I had a seven inch pet Bluegill fish at the time who I took out of his tank and put him out there to live in to for a few weeks during the summer. I put no chemicals in it and changed a...

I find that amazing that a swimming pool would be 18 feet deep I guess the deep end must be for high dives or something like that. Also 18 feet deep is deeper then a lot of lakes and ponds in my area too. Could you post some photos of it?

BBB has another perk: Filter Cartridge So Easy to Clean I would really like something about eight to ten feet wide for the deep end that is six to seven feet tall and two viewing windows for the shallow end that are eight feet wide by four feet deep. And

What is interesting about this is I have seen several cases where I'm looking at houses with existing pools to become a pool owner. If I saw a place that had a ready to go swimming pool that looked this good even if it was made out of vinyl I would keep it and operate it as is in that it looks...

There was a show called Life After People on the History Channel which showed what would happen to the world and man made things if all the world's people went away. In it they said that what would bring down the buildings and bridges is when the rain and ice water would get into the re bar and...

That is a nice 13 foot deep pool along with the other pool with the glass walls on it I would really like to build something like that.
