    When I was a kid over 50 years ago one of our neighbors a couple of houses down decided they wanted the world's largest above ground swimming pool. So they went out and bought nine swimming pools all the same size of 18 feet by 36 feet and about four and a half feed deep by design. He spent all spring and well into the summer cobbling them all together "welding" the plastic liners together, bolting the walls together, digging a bowl shape hole in the ground so the middle of the pool was eight feet deep and so on. When he got done the pool was fifty four feet wide and 108 feet long and about eight feet deep. He then began to fill it. Normally one would call the fire department and pay a fee which was a flat rate plus a per gallon fee. But the fire department took one look and said no and drove off leaving him with an empty pool. But undeterred he got out his garden hose and turned it on and it took a little over a week of running that hose continuously 24 hours a day. It was ready to go for his first pool party on July 4. Everyone in the neighborhood came over to watch it being built and being filled. He then invited everyone over for the inaugural pool party. So everything went, er, um, swimmingly. Then about a week later I woke up in my basement bedroom and went to get out of bed and found my feet in about a foot of water. I came upstairs to alert my parents who went down stairs and were scratching their heads then we went out on the deck and found our entire yard under a foot of water and was gushing into the basement. My dad quickly went down stairs and shut off some utilities and grabbed his most expensive power tools and then went into my room and grabbed a few things and by the time he was done our basement was in three feet of water. I'd have drowned if it happened an hour earlier. We called the fire department not knowing who else to call and they drove down the street and as it happens we were slightly down hill from that neighbor with the giant pool. The pool had failed earlier in the morning and out gushed a river with no place to go but our yard. The fire department ended up calling in three more trucks and they continuously pumped the water out of our yard/basement and over a thousand feet down the road over a little hill and into a stream that took the water a mile away into a pond. So of course my Dad was furious with our neighbor, sued and eventually won having a lien put on their house and forcing them to sell it to pay for the damages. We spent the summer and part of the fall living in a nearby motel while repairs were done. Our house was worth about 25k and it was estimated that about 12k in damages were done which was a lot. That was more than what my Dad earned in a year working for the post office. Everything was fixed and we were moved back in my Halloween and it was the following year when we got reimbursed. This incident inspired our town to pass an ordinance requiring all home owners to carry at least 25k in liability insurance. It also inspired me to always make sure I consult a topographical map prior to moving in to any place to make sure we were not in a valley or down hill from a major water source.

    I don't know why anyone would want thousands of gallons of water rushing onto their property from purposely collapsing their pool. When we upgraded our above ground pool we drained the old pool with a hose. One would think all that water near your home could cause damage. Not to mention if you have neighbors that live close enough to cause damage to their property.

    The pool with a bucket of dry ice in it could asphyxiate people and animals from the large amount of CO2, which is odorless - just like carbon monoxide.. It stays low if no wind, and can collect nearby in any depressions long enough to kill - including in a basement if a window or door is open and it is carried that way. Getting in the pool could get you a Darwin Award.

      Salt water pools are still chlorine. The only difference is that the chlorine is generated on site through low voltage electrolysis as opposed to dumping chlorine out of a bucket. The compound of salt is Sodium Chloride. Electrolysis separates the compound into the individual elements of Sodium and Chlorine. It really is no different chemically from using chlorine tabs it’s just a different way to sanitize the pool.

    referencing the guy striking the wall and making the pool water bounce. I don't know the physics, but the structure covering the pool seems to be a flexible-ish sort of material like a commercial tent material , so when the guy's impact on the wall sets up a vibration in the walls (possibly the whole airspace) and then the vibration travels into the water and it "jumps" in a wave for the length of the pool.

    • @catsandcrafts171
      @catsandcrafts171 14 днів тому +2

      I think you're right except that it's the condensation on the ceiling that is being knocked off by the vibration... it got less and less each time he did it, I suspect he's used to clearing the ceiling like that so it's not all drippy on people using the pool.

    5:21 Why was the lawn idiot racing the mower around the pool so fast? If I was the homeowner and he just trashed the water like that, he wouldn’t be taking care of my home any longer. He was in way too big of a hurry in a confined space. Recipe for disaster!
    5:32 Not only does the state owe him the cost of the water (which most states reimburse homeowners when water is taken to fight fires), but they owe them one styrofoam pool ring. That chopper made confetti out of that ring!😧 Very lucky the chopper didn’t lose control.
