rednecks are innovative as fuck

There was a video of one of those somewhere, and they showed you how to build that. The best part was the air hose running off the exhaust pipe to create bubbles as they drove around.

qft.

Someone should release some great white sharks into the pool when its loaded with swimmers.

QFTing yourself doesnt make much sense


so I'll go ahead and do it for you, for validity's sake:

^^how you gonna release sharks in a 1" puddle?

1/26/2008 9:15:38 PM

noone said they had to be in one piece

1/27/2008 6:34:56 AM

^^^I don't think it's a 1 inch puddle, whoever gave the initial gallon measurement is wrong. I mean can a sailboat really sail in water that is 1 inch deep?

is it for sail?

1/27/2008 8:15:45 AM

if you look at the 3rd picture down in the initial post, the floating guy's shadow is at least 3-4 feet below him

"Pools aren't full of salt water."

I've been in a dozen salt water pools. All of them over seas. Also the cruise I went on back in April had several salt water pools and spas. Its actually pretty nice compared to chlorine.

Also maybe the ocean water is too cold, too dangerous for swimmers (currents, sharks, etc) there could be a dozen reasons why a pool would be built like that infront of the ocean. the reasons you all think of involve "omg its too sandy or seaweed etc" is really only something I've ever seen in USA#1.

Wow...I'm going to go there next week.... I'll BRING Pictures!!

Is that really necessary when we are on the verge of rationing drinking water?

1/27/2008 10:23:43 AM

The majority of home/public saltwater pools ARE chlorinated.

They use salt-water chlorine generators to turn the salt in the water into chlorine.

Since they are constantly generating chlorine, they can keep the chlorine level low and not as noticeable in a purely chlorinated pool.

that would be really killer if there were red spots around people in the pool, visible from the air

"The outdoor pool at the San Alfonso Del Mar resort in Chile is 8 hectares in size, 1 km long and is acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest in the world. It’s filled with about 250,000 cubic meters of salt water which, if you’re wondering, is roughly equivalent to about 6,000 standard backyard pools. It cost about $1.5 billion to build and maintenance alone is about $4 million a year."

"The revolutionary clear water artificial lagoons, transparent to a depth of 35 meters and unprecedented in design and construction methods, are the brainchild of Crystal Lagoons founder, biochemist and Chilean businessman Fernando Fischmann"

250 000 (cubic meters) = 66 043 012.8 US gallons

Previous quote said 2,500,000 L. That's 250,000,000 L, making the average depth 102.5 ft, which makes for a pretty freakin HUGE "pool".

Haha... If they're able to get the filtered h20 to be like the salt water in personal pools... that's awesome. Keeping chems in that pool would be a clusterfuck of a nightmare if it were chlorinated.

"that's some very clean, blue saltwater. beautiful"

filtered the water somewhat im sure, and the bottom of the pool is white = water looking blue
