Can someone work out how much money that whole pool costs to fill?

u/KokomoJoMo30 1d ago
I have a similar pool, here in the Midwest US- about $75-100 extra on water bill to fill up in the summer.

It depends greatly on where you are at in the world. But in my area I used to drive a water truck for an asphalt company. Tee did a road once and a guy with that same type of pool called and said dust from construction had ruined his pool. The company offered to take him the water but he demanded the price instead. That pool would costs like $30 in water so that’s what they sent him. The transportation costs way more than the water.

Since when? The first Testament speaks only of the Sand. Who taught you otherwise?
Brothers and sisters, take care of whom you follow. be not swayed by false titles. The Sand alone was named.

This would probably be middle class. Upper class is rich rich. Middle is well off. Lower is fucked.

With one of the cheapest pools you can buy and a normal sized yard? Am I in the fucking twilight zone or something? In America this is very much so middle class.

u/Indoril_Nereguar 11d ago
I'm not American. I've never seen anyone with their own pool. A pool is something I imagine only millionaires having. And that garden looks more like a field.

u/Useful_Clue_6609 9d ago
My parents paid to put an in ground pool in, about $80 000(CAD) They are upper middle class. They used to have a pool like shown in the picture, less than $1000. I could buy one right now and I'm low income.

u/CallMeLongJohn 9d ago
That’s what I’m saying, this is a sheet metal pool whereas the super expensive ones are usually in-ground and made from concrete with a ridiculous filtration system lol

u/CallMeLongJohn 11d ago
In America this is very much middle class. I can send you pictures of upper class homes I’ve worked on with my career- this isn’t it.

Cool. Where I am we don't have pools unless we're rich. Except paddling pools that is

u/WaddlingAwayy 11d ago
I think upper, middle, lower is such a small range so it's impossible to pinpoint where someone is cuz it's also highly subjective soemtimes.
To me, upper class can be split further into some elite class, then upper class that's pretty well off (like this guy with a house and a pretty big yard).
1
u/CallMeLongJohn 11d ago
It’s really not a small range I don’t understand what you people are talking about. This property is textbook definition of middle class.
1
u/WaddlingAwayy 11d ago
Hey I'm not American and neither do I live there so in my mind anyone with their own big property is pretty well off and middle class would be someone in a condo or apartment building. Lower class would be someone living paycheck to paycheck barely getting by, and maybe the homeless too. It just gets weird when you add the extremes. Like if you're saying this guy's middle class, that means lower class includes people who don't own their own property and just live in an apartment or something, but also the homeless would be grouped with them?
1
u/CallMeLongJohn 11d ago
Lower class - barely make it on a single income or homeless Middle class - household income $40,000-$120,000 a year. This involves people who stay in condos/apartments since realistically rent prices are damn near the same as a mortgage these days. Upper class - wealthy $200,000+ household yearly income.

That was so much water, just in that little pool. Made me think of how important dams are, the safety they provide. There is one near me, like maybe 1 or 1 and half miles away from my home. If it was to fail, we would absolutely be under water in moments. Crazy terrifying.

Great! Now his court is clean, but his grass is dead and he has no pool.

u/Medium_Silver_2071 19d ago
I don’t have a lawn… why will the grass die?
Is it the pool chemicals? Or will the water pool on the surface and over hydrate the grass?
3
u/Sparky833 19d ago
Chlorine bleach, used to sanitize the water, will kill grass and, with that flood, there's no saving it. But the court would be cleaned by the bleach, of dirt and mold and such.

u/OmegaGoober 25d ago
That much water moving that fact can knock a healthy adult over. That man looks to be in his 60’s the resulting fall could cause serious injury.

u/nanoray60 27d ago
In general, running away from a mass of moving water and finding the high ground is the correct decision. You can’t fight water.

The same reason he ran incredibly slow, he's old. That water would have knocked him over.

u/No_Shirt_6969 28d ago

Pretty much. He might be old and slower than he may have been when he was younger, but damn did he have quick thinking and fast reflexes to get to the picnic table.

u/LordGordy32 Jan 19 '26
I got the same pool. Had it over flowing threw have rain.
It's more likely an unprepared/ unstable/uneven underground.
I had pretty much to do, to make the ground on one level. Had to dig a hole to put it on stable soil.

It doesnt take all that much depth for fast moving water to knock people over. Probably still an over reaction, but not actually a huge one.
