Rainwaterpool!!!

in #pool5 years ago

Not much to look at but it actually collects rainwater!!! Not for swimming but for watering the garden! I did walk in it with water to my knees but that was because I dropped the roof in the pool. Hope I did not scratch the pool! When it is full I will fill up the sides with dirt again! //Ted

Well done @recreated, now you have water for your garden without much effort.

Yes it will serve the garden fine I hope. Next thing is to solve a pumping problem from the forrestpond! 100m is a long way to move water. I am thinkin of getting gasenginedriven pump and getting as close as possibble to the pond and pump the water to the new pool! My current pumps cannot pump that far. The hose is an inch outside measurment. The suctionforce is lost! //Ted

How about a solar panel with a small battery and an electric pump, it will cost a little bit more up front, but you don't have to pay for fuel and you will have much lower cost of maintenance and repair.

A good idea! My 100w solar in my house gives about 5 amps at 12v and I will look for a submercible pump with that power outage! I can put the panel and the pump at the forrestpond!
