Belleville's public pool may escape latest federal mandate on safety Belleville News Democrat

The agency has not said whether the recirculation system failure could have resulted in illness from crypto. The next hearing in the case is in February. City leaders are trying to get an earlier hearing so they can know whether to incorporate the pool into next year's budget.

Also, the Belleville pool, along with many others across the country, will need to make upgrades to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Debbie Belleville, manager of operations for Belleville's Parks and Recreation Department, said those changes could cost somewhere near $5,000. But city leaders hope to know the results of the state investigation before they spend that money; they don't want to invest in the pool if the state is going to make them close it, anyway.

The pool was built in 1976 and still operates on the original tank and pipe system, and it is needing more repairs every year. An apprentice plumbers' class is reviewing the pool to see what needs to be done before it can open again next year.

Does anyone have any great pool design ideas?

I currently trying to design our pool and have found out a couple of cool design features like the acapulco ledge and umbrella holes. Have you put any cool features in your pool or saw something and thought I wish I had known of that when I was building my pool? PLEASE SHARE!


When we designed our pool, we made sure we had a waterfall, inpool spa and a beach. The grandkids love it because they can sit under the waterfall in shallow water on the beach.

We also have a rock wall in the pool too, lots of sitting ledges, umbrellas etc. Outside we put a gazebo with BBQ, a bar, a shower and toilet area and lots of garden. It's like a resort.

We love it. Have a look at the photos - click the link below!


I wish i had put a stepped fountain above and into the pool.


I have seen some pretty amazing pools in Hawaii with large rocks in the center of the pool with plants growing from the top.. The rock is probably 6-8 feet high.


oh sweet.. i've always wanted to design something... gotta have a waterfall.... my aunt's got a small one in her pool, plus it keeps the water moving, so its harder for algae to grow. and a diving portion... like, yea, the reast of the pool is 4-5 feet.. but then you got a big pit where you can dive into.. i'd put it near the house so you can jump off the roof, lol.... and a cliumbing wal.. the Y around here has one, and if you fall, you fall into the pool, so no big deal!

those are a few... lol


i think you shoud have either a rectangular pool w/ a waterfall at one end/corner or a round pool w/ a big fountain in tha middle
:)


Do you have a favorite sports team? Example a big C for the Cubs or Cincinnati! I saw a picture that someone built a wedding cake style for steps - all around the pool! It looks great!


Check out the next to last pictures, she used a cantilever umbrella best for providing coverage and better than putting a sleeve hole in your pool step.

We call them reef steps 18" deep, or step #2, and baja steps, 9" and step #1. Reef is popular since you can sit on a plastic resin chair and be almost all wet.

Best design is one you are happy with but looks like it was custom built for your yard and fits in! If getting an attached spa remember to not put your equipment more than 30' away since you do want your jets to work!

How about an Art Rock Waterfall and slide? Deck jets and volcano jets, heck its only money!

You're welcome!!

How to design a pool?

I am designing a pool for my design challenge. I have to pump hot water into a pool that is 5 degrees Celsius and make the pool 25 degrees Celsius and if the pool gets to warm I have to pump in cold water to regulate the temperature. Please help. And I cant use batteries and that stuff. And it needs to create a convection current.
How can I pup water into the pool without usng a batterie?


gravity.. Think of it as a pool and spa. make the spa raised higher than the pool. heat the spa persay, and then add it to the pool to the desired temp. just add a valve. water seeks its own level.


Have a Hot Water Cylinder that will store water to a certain temperature and is piped to the pool and a similar tank to store cold water and just pump them to the pool as required.

Make sure to insulate pipes and tanks to prevent Heat Loss and the water freezing in the pipes causing cracking of the pipes.

What do you think makes the most attractive pool liner? color- design?

does the kind with the water design look nice? Or tile design? What would you reccomend? links maybe?


By far the most beautiful is white, which when filled with water turns the pool a most sparking blue you've ever seen.


It depends how natural you want the pool water to look. The most popular, of course, is turquoise - a greenish blue. This is the color of the water at many tropical beaches. You can use a patterned vinyl liner or colored tiles - the pattern tends to add to the pool's attractiveness, but the turquoise base color is almost a must.


Most people want their water blue. It will look blue with almost any liner. I prefer a water design at the bottom with a tile design at the top. On the link below there are about 30 liner patterns. My favorite one is the Stone Tile but I have gray steps on my pool.

Does anyone know how to design a pool for Euro2008?

I want to start a pol with about 4 people but I'm not sure how to set it up.


I dont understand

What is the best design for a swimming pool, in your opinion?

What's your favorite color of plaster inside the pool?


A kidney shaped pool,with white sides and bottom.Most now a days have a waterfall built into the landscape and a Jacuzzi.A cabana could also be added with a bar and sauna.


one with a water fall attachment to a Jacuzzi.


Usually the plaster is always white and in certain cities, counties they do have regulations as to what color or decor can be placed on the bottom of pools for safety reasons.

What's an aesthetic design for the exterior of a swimming pool?

recently, I had installed an above ground 12 foot diameter pool. the grass has been killed off around the surrounding area, and I have only had time to put a few potted tropical plants in places.
I wont be doing any major work now with summer almost over, but I want to design over the winter something nice to do for next year. A running deck even to the top of the pool isnt an option. but what about one that is 1 foot off the ground? so that it could be walked on, have pool toys sit there and that way my kids and i dont have to walk in the mud around it?
should it be wood or some other material? wood seems like high maintenance. I guess I could just build a landscaping bed but it might get ruined with too muich water when it splashes out and it drains when i clean it once a month.

thank you for any suggestions.:)


one thing you might consider is a cool deck this is a deck that no matter how hot it gets this deck will not burn your feet.they do work i have been on them bare footed. and you can have any color you want owner of pool company for eleven years.


Hot chicks with bikinis standing around it.

Can someone help me with a design for my pool business?

I need a logo for the company name Coast2Coast Pools
If anyone can help or offer suggestions, I would appreciate it! I am not really that good of a designer or artist! Thanks!


Why not get somebody to show you a design of the sea's coastline, blue water of course and a off white colored coastline, and put the name of your company over it,in yellow wording, in the shape of a really weird shaped pool.

What college degree would be needed for Swimming Pool Design?? is that in the field of ART or in Architecture?



This falls under the category of architecture and structural engineering. Of course, the best architects and engineers also have an artistic component in what they do.

how can i see more than one size of a swimming pool design or idea?
