2008 Floating Fireworks Spectacular! Okay, someone has way too much time on their hands...complete with "Everything America" sound-track, this 4th of July pool party is rockin'...see how smoke, sparklers, and some good down-home family fun in the pool can generate excitement among neighbors, children and adults sporting revolutionary war hats. Someone better make sure the Roman Candles don't fall off the float and make it into the skimmer! Happy Fourth of July from everyone here at POOLCENTER.com!! Monday, June 29, 2009 04:30 PM
I bet you were wondering whether a 250 lb. pumpkin would float weren't you? Well this Halloween pumpkin is as bouyant as a pool float, actually you probably could use this one as a pool float if you needed to; however, you would probably find yourself slipping off if the stump wasn't long enough to give you some holding-on strength. At any rate, it must be nice having T-Shirt weather in the end of October, so the next time you are faced with what to do with your pumpkin after Halloween, simply push it in the pool and post your video here on the Pool Tube!

60 Pounds of Dry Ice and a Swimming Pool! Nothing says "Scary!" around Halloween like throwing 60 pounds of dry ice in your swimming pool prior to your party guests arriving pool-side. This 60lb. block was kicked into the spa and threw off white foggy smoke for a good while. Not sure how it would affect the plaster or vinyl liner in your pool, but possibly someone will post more of a discussion of the "do's and dont's" surrounding dry-ice and it's affects on swimming pools? Dive into the discussion! Saturday, December 20, 2008 03:37 PM
