Get The Right Equipment
The first thing you need to do in order to waste pool water is to get the right tools. You will need a h2o level gauge to measure the amount of water in your pool, a plastic grocery bag to hold all the used toilet paper, and some old rags to wipe down your tools and equipment after use (just in case they get a little bit greasy).
If you already have these items around your home, you can begin collecting water immediately. However, if you do not have any of these items, it might be a good idea to buy them before starting the process. This will make things go much more smoothly later on. If you do decide to start the process without the proper equipment, you might end up having to stop the entire process and begin over again. So, buy all of the equipment you will need ahead of time.
Start To Thin The Pool Water
After you have all of your equipment, you can start by getting rid of the excess water. To do this, you will need to use your pool pump to circulate the water. The best thing about this method is that it is simple and requires very little effort on your part. However, it is still important to keep in mind the correct procedure so that you do not end up contaminating your pool. For this reason, make sure you follow the correct order of steps. Begin by turning off the water to your pool and allowing the pump to continue running for a few minutes. This will help move all of the excess water out of your pool. When you are done, check your h2o level again and make sure it is at or near the same level as before you started pumping. If it is not, then you will need to start over again and pump additional water out. But, at least you are moving in the right direction!
Sort The Paper
Once you emptied your pool, you can start to sort your toilet paper. It is important to separate clean water from dirty water in your toilet paper before continuing. Depending on the type of material you use for your toilet paper, you might need to run it through a shredder before using it. After you have separated all of the clean water from the dirty water, you can start to add it back to your pool. While some people prefer to use a pool ladder to reach the top of their pool for a wash, it is not necessary. You can use a garden hose to easily wash down your pool area and touch the water directly with your hand. Make sure to clean all of the water in your pool before re-entering it, otherwise you might contaminate your pool with bacteria.
Dump The Toilet
After you have added the clean water back to your pool, you can begin to dump your toilet. If you flushed it before starting, there is no need to worry. But, if you forgot and the device was clogged, then you will need to take it out and clean it before continuing. Take your time doing this, as it is very tedious work. Once you have removed all of the toilet’s contents and cleaned it, you can continue with the next step.
Wash Down Your Equipment
After you have finished removing all of the contents of your toilet, you can start to wash down your equipment. Just like with your toilet, there is no need to rush this process as it can be very tedious work. While some people prefer to use a disinfectant to clean their pool equipment such as the filter or pump, plain old water is just as effective. However, make sure to wipe down all of the equipment with clean water before reusing it or storing it for later use. If you do not have enough water to completely clean all of the equipment, then you will need to start over again and clean it with more water. Once you are done, let the equipment dry before using it again.
Re-Filter Your Pool
After you have cleaned all of your pool equipment, it is time to re-filter it. This is not necessary for every pool, but if you notice your pool water becomes cloudy after a while, then this is the step required to make it crystal clear again. To do this, you will need to connect your pool pump to your filter and let it run for a few minutes. After your pump turns on, there should be a thinning, water droplets will appear to float on top of the water. This is a sign that your pool is now clean and ready for use. Make sure to disconnect your pool pump when you are done so that it does not run all day long and strain your motor.
Enjoy Your New Clean Pool!
Once you have finished adding back the clean water and re-filtered your pool, you can begin enjoying it. It is important to remember that the water in your pool will continue to become clearer as long as it is clean. So, make sure to keep adding back the dirty water and taking out the toilet paper as needed so that it remains clean. Finally, make sure to check your pool water often and remove any debris that may have accumulated at the bottom during the process. In order to avoid any potential problems, make sure that you do not overuse any of your pool’s fixtures such as the spa or shower, otherwise you might end up with an overflow issue that causes damage and requires professional help to fix. So, make sure to regulate how frequently you use these items based on how big your pool is. If you think this is a lot of work, then you might consider putting in an additional pool for relaxing and entertaining purposes. Or, if you want to be extra careful, you could always install a sprinkler system so that you can spray down the area to keep things clean and tidy all year long!
Now that you are equipped with the necessary tools and have started down the right path to waste pool water, it is time to begin collecting the water in your pool and getting rid of it. As you can see, it is not that hard to get started. You simply need to follow the steps and ensure that you do not contaminate your pool. But, remember: the more you use it, the dirtier it gets. So, it is important to be careful not to overload your pool’s capacity. As long as you do this, you will not run the risk of causing any damage or problems. And that is what makes this process so much better and less complex than you would think. So, always follow the instructions and be careful not to cause any overflow issues! With just a little bit of effort, you can easily get rid of all of the excess water in your pool. And that is no simple feat! So, go out there and begin your water wastage journey. You will be glad you did. And if you want to be extra careful not to accumulate any debris at the bottom of your pool during the process, then ensure that you do not overuse any of its fixtures. This will keep the water clean and crystal clear!
