I started looking into a vist there but checked out internationalsexguide.info and found Chile to be a lousy place for p4p and generally sexually repressed.
Oh well, there is always the ocean in Argentina!
1,000 gallons is 4,000 liters, which would occupy a space that was 1m x 1m x 4m = a big hot tub. So a pool would be more like 5 x 10 x 2 = 100,000 liters = 25,000 gallons = $20,000 per month to heat. So something is not right.tboy said:Then you have to think about heating it. In the hot tub thread I think someone said it costs about $80.00 per month to heat. Can you imagine what it would cost to heat a pool? Let's see: a hot tub is what, 100 gallons? So if a pool is 1000 gallons you can figure 10 x the water = 10 x the heating so $800.00 a month. Then you have the pumps to run etc, and with the rising cost of electricity, and a surcharge for high consumption...man, you better like swimming!!!
Stay away from inground fiberglass. For Concrete only one game in town Solda Pools - best product - no bullshit, no over inflated price - down to earth guys. But save yourself a bundle - get a steel wall, vinyl liner pool - and no matter what you get make sure you get salt water generator.tightfit said:On the note of swimming pools, I am looking at putting one in this year, can anyone suggest someone who can put either a inground fiberglass pool or
a concrete one for a good price. Also what is the best as far as maintenace costs etc.
thanks
Figure $400 per month to heat a 16x32 pool average depth 7.5 feet to 85 degrees.C Dick said:1,000 gallons is 4,000 liters, which would occupy a space that was 1m x 1m x 4m = a big hot tub.

What, now Terb has a rule that you are not supposed to make postings in the lounge about things you are not an expert on? Since when? If that were the case, about 90% of the postings would disappear, and some people would have a lot fewer posts than they do now. Someone with a lot of time on their hands could go searching, and find posts by people who do not know what they are talking about, and post them as examples. But I would not do that.Sheik said:You know, those of you who dont own or use pools should keep their comments to themselves.
What facts did I give out that were incorrect? I suggested that the prior posters estimate of the volume of a pool was way off, that a pool would be more like 25,000 gallons? Is this not correct? Then I suggested that by his reasoning, it would cost $20,000 per month to heat, which obviously it does not, and therefore that his heat calculations were not correct.Sheik said:C Dick,
If you don't know, dont give out facts that you think are correct give out information that you know is correct.

Turd? Nah, they'd clean it up first...Papi Chulo said:I wonder how long it would take a turd to float from one end to the other
You called me out, by name, saying my post was inaccurate. That is you making an issue, but not me. But it does not matter, lets move on.Sheik said:The only one making it an issue is you C Dick. Read your first post in this thread, that you replied to. It's that person that I'm talking about.
