Dome .....

[sevver]

Swimming in the winter is what hotels are for. Buy a room on occasion and save yourself the $300 per month plus gas bill.

Wisconsin has an indoor water park, I have not visited it yet, but I want to.

We have a few indoor water parks that are not to far from me. I haven't been to them in quite some time though.

Since I have had the pool, I can not make myself use a public pool. I have been in a few hotels recently and they just are not as clean looking and smelling. I guess I am spoiled.

Yes, I would probably think the same thing. lol. I don't swim in public pools either, but if I was going to do it I am sure that I would end up thinking along those lines. Paranoia comes to mind.

The last water park I did go to, I rember seeing a child throw up in the pool, I am sure that it was promptly dealt with (yeah right) needless to say, I relocated to another pool.

WE Could take our test kits with us to the public pools and water parks do our own quick test on the water(s) before us or our kids go in!!!!!
You try the dome thing in the winter and let me know how it goes!!!
Is yours cloth or vinyl and is is bolted to the deck ?

I wanted to do this once but the family thought I was nuts! I have often wondered what the pool operators would say if I walked straight in, test kit in hand, and starting testing pool side.

That is just awesome! Once my eye heals, (I popped it) I am going to do that. lol. It will take at least a month though.

I am going to a rather large water park today and plan on bring my small cl/ph test kit with me to test the h2o. What do you think the #s will be????

My dome is vinyl, it is staked into the ground surrounding the deck.

If I keep the pool open over the winter, I will let you know how it works out. I just have the fear of a gas bill in one month that is equal to my yearly total .

I have thought of taking the kit with me. I probably will do that next time I am going to a public pool. I should wear a lab coat when I test it too.

That would be fun, walk to the pool in a white lab coat, open my stainless steel briefcase, pull out the ps234 kit, clipboard, pen, safety goggles, and some elbow length chemical gloves/sleeves. Then take a sample and test it at a pool side table.

I've been interested in the idea of a dome for a while. I would like it just to extend the season not to use it year round. I'm up by NYC and theres only a couple of months where it is warm enough. I wonder if you could use a solar heater to keep it warmer. The Fall and Spring sun can be really strong.
