Posted by admin / Under Pool Fence
ST. PETERSBURG — Police say it was shortly after midnight Thursday when the two men climbed over a security fence at the Renaissance Vinoy Hotel. Nearby was the pool. But Michael Cline, 19, and Andrew Harris, 18, weren't there to swim, police say. In fact, their actions forced the hotel to clean and bleach the pool. The two were watched by Vinoy security guards as they befouled the swimming pool with human feces. Guards called police, who found the men in the hot tub. Harris told police he wasn't a guest at the Vinoy and wasn't visiting anyone, but he...

Immediately a polite man in jeans and Tshirt emerged to ask us to stay off the grass. Though this grass was the curbside city property,...

Hilarious Video of Dog Going Down Slide Into A Pool
Posted by admin / Under Pool Fence
This video was emailed to me recently by a friend, who told me that the owners of this adorable dog thought that the neighborhood children were sneaking into their pool when they were gone. So they decided to set up a hidden camera to catch the little pranksters. Only problem is that the prankster turned out to be their dog. The great thing about this video is the way the dog is actually enjoying his frolic down the slide and into the pool so much that he is actually running back up and down the slide time and time...

What Size Pool Pump To Buy?
Posted by admin / Under Pool Fence
I have a 7 year old 40K gallon inground concrete pool and the 2HP pump needs to be replaced. We typically run it 8-10 hours a day and have a DE filter and a spa. I've had someone tell me that if I buy a smaller pump (1HP for example), I can leave it running 24 hours a day and still spend the same in electricity. The advantage being that the water is constantly being moved and filtered and stays cleaner, albeit at a slower rate. Just wanted to get thoughts on this from others here.
