Travisma 1,317 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 And the Tampa tv stations are having lead stories about bacteria in swimming pools. So no swimming anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 And the Tampa tv stations are having lead stories about bacteria in swimming pools. So no swimming anywhere. What, my pool water looks great. Come on over. No diving though, the water is a little low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 What, my pool water looks great. Come on over. No diving though, the water is a little low. I used to do phone work, and I had seen worse pools than that at some of the customers homes. I was at one and the water was so black it looked like tar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5kidsmommy 18 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 My pool does look black, but that's because it's a rare black bottom pool. Black bottom pools always looked cool but scared the crap out of me. I have some water phobias that involve stuff I can't see and black bottom pools just make me squirm. I had a friend who had one and I could last about 5 minutes before having a full blown panic attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lou, does the pool water heat up faster in spring, because of the black bottom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lou, does the pool water heat up faster in spring, because of the black bottom? No idea, we never use it.I like it because even if it is dirty, you can't tell unless it's turned green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsamuel 322 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It doesn't look like your other pool on post 29! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It doesn't look like your other pool on post 29! The photos were taken on different days so the lighting is different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 No idea, we never use it.A lot of people feel the same way about pools as others feel about boats.... It's a love hate relationship. The two best days of a boat ownership is the day you buy it and the day you sell it.Pools you either love them or hate having to take care of them.Of course it's easier to get rid of a boat than a pool.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Lou, it is a beautiful pool. I hope someone enjoys it once and while. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pools you either love them or hate having to take care of them. I don't have to take care of it and I guess I'd rather look at that in the backyard rather than just a patio and grass. I hope someone enjoys it once and while. Once in a while the neighbors use it and Buddy and Dobby like to lay in the sun poolside.Our latest stray kitten will get to call the pool area her home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The Tampa Bay Times had a big watch out for amoebas in the lake story in the paper this weekend. It tells the story of a couple who is trying to spread the word about this. Here's the astonishing thing- they are both physicians, and there was nothing they could do to save their son after they found out what happened to him. Very scary: http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/parents-on-a-mission-to-raise-awareness-of-deadly-amoeba/2192009 I will stay out of the lake, thank you very much.
