Small Pool inside the house

[thaipak]

Hi

I need to build a 190*90*70 cm pool inside my bathroom. Has anyone ever attempted it. Appreciate some advise. 

[FritsSikkink]

I think it is called a bath.

& 190cm is a bit deep for a bath too....

A large hot tub???? Should be easy if the floor can support the weight.

About 1.17 tonnes of water (when full)...   Should be fine even on a 2nd floor etc...

 

I've seen plenty of similar structures in Japan hotels rooms (onsen type baths).

 

Obviously ensuring they are correctly sealed and drain correctly is of key importance particularly if in a condo etc...

 

I think it can be a concrete construction, sealed, then tiled...

I'm intrigued by the word in the OPs post "I need"....

What do you need to do? Inter someone?

I think that would be the length. while 70 and 90 being depth and width.

There's a lot of attention being directed towards the benefits of taking regular ice-baths... 

 

Perhaps an interesting idea... (if not somewhat of an expensive habit to maintain)....

 

I used to play a lot of football... less so now that I'm older (just a couple of times per week)...  I've often thought of getting an 'ice bath' set up to aid recovery.... (walking the following morning after a game is often painful !!)...

Oh dear... Of course it is...  I was being daft - no need to take such obviously facetious comments so literally !!!...

Ice was invented to go into Whisky.

Erm... you're going to face resistance with that...

Do you mean that putting ice in whisky is sacrilegious? Can't be any worse than ice in BEER, yuk.

I can take any resistance!

If you are in a house developpment, try not to use the managers of the property as they tend to over charge the owners and ask for absurd rates for pool maintenance or cleaning. Mainly in those swanky pool villa developpments in Hua Hin for exemple.

That would depend on the Whisky with ice is certainly better than no Whisky at all.

 

With a good Whisky adding ice is said to be sacrilegious.

 

Adding ice is a sin I'm sometimes guilty of...   never when having an excellent whisky to enjoy over a period of time... but when drinking a little quicker, with friends in a social setting etc... then I don't think a Speyside or Highlands single malt with ice is not going to upset the Whisky gods too much.

So just 20cm longer than a normal bath.

Sounds more like a large bathtup or jacuzzi. You can buy them already made for a reasonable price and just need water inlet – cold + warm preferably – and drain, to let water out; and of course electric supply, if it's a jacuzzi.

I have one – the jacuzzi-type – no big deal to get installed. However, I never use it, so think twice, if you really need it. But as my clever girlfriend say: »Just leave it, we make face having it...👍«...

I call it my bath!
