Recently, we were at a friend's house relaxing on the patio surrounding their pool when gurgling sounds, I mean very loud sounds, started coming from the pumphouse. We immediately ran to the pool to investigate. Everyone gathers around to take a peek. I'm not a trained mechanic. All I can tell you is that something in there was creating a tremendous amount of noise and that water was gushing around this plastic bubble thing that was inside of the bubble chamber. The power switch was switched off by one of our friends. That is one approach to resolving the issue. They'll have to call someone to come out and do some maintenance. Around here, that's exactly what people do. Make a phone call to the pool guy service.
Despite the fact that I enjoy swimming, I do not believe I would ever own a home with a pool because I am aware of the dangers. Additionally, it is pricey. With pools, when something goes wrong, like a burst pipe underneath or, as in our friend's case, extremely loud mechanical noises, it can be a big pain in the rear to fix and will cost a lot of money to do so.
Our sack of rotten muck Platinum was fortunate enough to have a swimming pool in his back yard. It's possible that the black lagoon would have been a more appropriate name for it. When it happened, I don't remember exactly when, but it was shortly after he purchased the house and something in the pumphouse went wrong. I don't remember exactly when he acquired the house, but it was probably within five years of our joining Amway together. It's possible that I had been there for a year or two before we met. All I recall is that they hadn't been in the house for very long and that they said the pool was operational when they purchased it and that they had used it the first year. They were 13 and 14 years old when we met, so they were old enough to understand that they should not go near that nasty pool, but if they had been there 5 years earlier, they would have been young enough that the pool would have been pristine clean and the black lagoon would have been an attraction.
The pool is in the shape of a kidney, which was fashionable at the time the house was built for those who had limited backyards. The pool at the Platinum was about a third of the way full of black, green, muddy water. I'm not sure what was growing in there at the time. Yucky, disgusting substance. That is what happened, perhaps because they tossed Amway items into the mix. If a pool has deteriorated to that extent, it indicates a pattern of serious neglect.
Unless the pool can be repaired, it would appear that at the very least all of its contents, including the water, should be drained from it. What I don't know is whether or not they truly partially drained their pool, or whether the pool was leaking and the water level eventually fell below the leak. In other words, either get the pool back in functioning order or fill it in and plant a garden around it. It's just a bad situation the way it is. Not to mention a potential health and safety risk.
Eventually, Ambot confronted Platinum with the question of why they hadn't gotten the pool up and running yet. He was given the standard response that all their spare money was being reinvested back into "the business" and some fucked up rationale that the pool wasn't generating them any money at all. No, but the longer you allow things to continue as they are, the more money it will cost you in the long run. I'm confident that they will not fill it in because they likely believe that a pool is a strong selling element for a home when it comes time to sell in the future. That's not a shitpool in a hellhole like that! The buyers would almost certainly remove $25,000 to compensate them for the hassle of dealing with the neglected pool.
Is Platinum a sack of shit since he won't maintain and fix his pool a lazy jerk who should be fired? Yes, without a doubt!!! Even if a bucket brigade is required, the water will eventually be drained from the pool in some fashion. It may be cleaned with soap and water. It is possible to repair leaks. I have no idea whether there are leaks in the subsurface pipe system or whether there are mechanical problems in the pumphouse. But given how many ambots are constantly swarming over my blog, writing comments like "lazy" and "didn't strive hard enough" and other such amspeak crap, those comments might be used to the sack of shit Platinum. He's a slacker since he doesn't put his pool in at the very least a respectable, clean, and safe environment. If he attempted to repair it, he clearly did not put out much effort, as the situation appears to be a shithole.
The reality is that they do not have the funds to repair the pool. Even after all the boasting from the sack of sh*t about making $10,000/month in Amway or whatever sum he tossed at us that week, they still had no money. That is exactly what Amway does to its customers. Sucks up all of their cash.
That he hasn't sent out invitations to his cult members' pool parties has taken me completely by surprise. We aren't talking about the type of pool party where you sit on lounge chairs with drinks in hand and then go for a swim in the pool followed by a barbecue. The ambot pool party would be a professional gathering. Bring your scrub brushes along with you!
Alternatively, why hasn't that cretin prospected and signed on someone who maintains swimming pools, whom he could then bully into fixing the pool for free, been done instead?
So all those times the piece of crap Platinum used to preside over meetings and whine about how lethargic people were, the fucker needed to take a good, hard look in the mirror to see what he was doing. Platinum is a lazy ass sack of trash. Clear your fucking pool of debris!
