Water's Vacuum Truck Service can haul 2000 gallons of non-drinking quality water for you. I can't quote you what it would cost but here is thier number 775-825-1595

ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT START WITH THE VILEST RIVER WATER.

I ALREADY HAVE THE FILTRATION EQUIPMENT, PUMPS AND A 20 TON WATER TRUCK. YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST 2000 GALLONS TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE. PEOPLE COULD BATH IN THE OVER-SPILL OF THE FOUNTAIN TO CLEAN OFF AS IT ENTERS TH EFILTERTRATION AND THE EFFLUENT FROM WOULD BE DRINKABLE.

YOU COULD MADE JELLO OUT OF IT. TOSS IN SOME FRUIT (NOT FAIRIES). MAYBE A FEW NUTS (NOT BURNERS). OH WHAT THE HELL, PUT SOME FAIRIES AND BURNERS IN IT TOO.

I HOPE THIS IS MORE HELPFUL THAN SOCRATES WAS . IT IS CALLED ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING, OR HELPING WITH THE SOLUTION. SOCRATES WAS A LIP FLIPPER THAT NEVER ACTUALLY DID ANYTHING HIMSELF.

I have often theorized what would be required to get a public pool past the health department. What systems do you use?

In my musings I had a couple of filters (one course, one fine), activated charcoal then sand with cultures, then hard UV, with maybe some chemicals at the end. Flow such that the volume of water in the pool is changed every....10 minutes?

Would be curious to know how it can really be done...

stick some nice little 'keep the fuck outta my fountain" signs up around the edge, and you should be able to claim that you took appropriate steps to avoid bathers.

Then he would still have a pool of gray water to deal with after people play in it regardless.

I tried the sign thing the first year I did this, and a 300lb tranny wearing spiked heels not only ignored the
keep out sign, he also poked about a dozen holes through the plastic I was using as pong liner with his heels.

I have used rubber pond liner ever since.

So, what is your camp name? I want to avoid going to any camp that has such miserable angry people as you....

The OP posted this over on tribe.net:

The OASIS NON TOXIC MUTANT ALIEN BEAUTY SPA

The painting will be done by an air brush artist who
has been trained in women's airbrush make up.

So I'm wondering if the fountain thing is just for atmosphere, or he's airbrushing inside it and using it as a paint booth.

oneeyeddick · Post by **oneeyeddick** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 5:57 pm

That wouldn't work, the water would fuck up the airbrushing, even if they turned off the pump to get in/out of the area.

I still don't see why 2000 gallons or a 4 foot depth is needed, regardless of the plans.

not that there's anything WRONG with it.

kinda new..but I read somewhere that pools...are prohibited unless meeting strict water quality standards....plus....with the dust, wouldn't it be mud in a short time?

dragonfly Jafe · Post by **dragonfly Jafe** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 9:14 pm

now that I have seen the site, this is sounding even more interesting. Not really a pool, but a water effect...in addition to the technical challenge of water purification this is adding artistic geometric shaping of the water...(plus whatever painting might happen inside)...How will the laminar flow be retained in a hemispherical shape without disruption? I really hope you guys pull this off, I can't wait to see it (from the outside, let alone the inside).

oneeyeddick · Post by **oneeyeddick** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 9:48 pm

I would like to see it too, I know a bit about fountains, but I still don't see why they need so much water unless they are gonna let people get wet in it on purpose....and then it would not be allowed.

Shirley, you'd attract more naked chickie babes with a chocolate fountain.

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:27 am

i dont understand the need to disguise the whole pervy thing.

Last Year, the Giant Disco Duck owners simply threw unused visa platinum cards and free boxes of Prada shoes overboard, and that seemed to draw em' right in...

the pretty naked chickies that is.....

you see, if you only dish out size 7's it keeps the trannies away.

live and learn.

2,000 gallons of water should be no problem.
Get 2,000 cases of PBR.
Invite a few people from DPW over.
They will be very happy to make 2,000 gallons of water for you.

Who the hell is Shirley? I have looked everywhere and no Shirley here.

Ok, now I wonder why Shirley wants all these naked babes anyway? Oh, it's Burning Man.. of course.

Why bother with the chocolate fountain to get naked chicks if all you need to do is let someone build
a mutant vehicle in your yard in Reno in order to be around them ?

hahaha, good call.......

OK- poster of this inquiry- I feel for you- I have put out many sincere inquiries over the years & got a bunch 'o CRAP from ASSHOLES who are desperate for attention & love to see themselves published. To those of you that think you are clever- save it for the funny threads or for the playa, you are just pissing true burners off.
ps- yes, some of this is said out of anger, so please forgive...

alexamonkey · Post by **alexamonkey** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 5:07 pm

ok- I am no longer apologizing for my harsh words- I can't believe some of you idiots- you really don't belong at BM, & DON'T come near my camp if you don't know the difference between decent behavior and assholic stupidity. Are you proud of being kings of the moron club? Check your post category- this is where people go to get real information, not to watch the anti-evolutionary progression of your infantile attention attempting ramblings-

Ok, far be it for me, a mere virgin, to interject in what I'm sure will be a raucous exchange forthcoming on this board, HOWEVER....I too have sometimes noted with frustration that questions aren't always answered seriously, or if they are, it's at a much later time after much thread drift. That being said, I think this board serves a purpose other than simply imparting advice. It seems to be a good way to connect with playa folk before the event. Not everyone may have the opportunity to attend a regional gathering and getting in touch with veteran burners and chatting makes sense. While I agree that a thread like "open discussion" may be the most appropriate place for this sort of discourse, well, sometimes chat just happens and threads drift. Surely it's not worth all the animosity? Truthfully, I've been reading this board for almost two years (though only signed up in the last two months) but I feel like I've seen and heard enough of some folks to know that they're the kind of people I might like to visit (theme camps etc) on the playa. To me, that is worth at least as much as the nitty gritty advice that I have also received.

Um, thanks for the demonstration of the difference between the two.

I do know where to get that much water from out there.....as I have stated(indirectly)

also, I have asked why he needs so much water......I didn't get an answer either.

We ARE here to help, but if you can't read between the lines of the humor, snark, and fun we are having , then maybe you should take the question elsewhere, because that is how we roll usually.

Now , I will give you one more chance....

WHY DO YOU NEED SO MUCH FUCKING WATER ???

seriously........................the math doesn't add up, and I ain't giving up my source till I hear why.

And no.....my source can't be found in the phonebook, and it isn't He-Man either.

Who's getting their panties in a bunch??

Buried in the responses to Fletchers question are answers, some of them very valuable. One answer that kinda of came through was NO, most people would have no fucking idea how to get a Truck load of water delivered. 2200 gallons is the size of the smaller water trucks you see on the roads today. That is 17,000 lbs of water or 8 and 1/2 tons of water.

Not only does Fletcher need to have the water delivered, he will also have to find a way to dispose of that much water. A lot of us have seen what happens quite often to that water, in ends up on the playa and it is a ungoing problem that people fill things (like hot tubs) and then just dump the water on the ground when leaving.

Also, this thread has gotten a lot of "air play" with every snarky post this thread jumped back to the top where, if someone really had the direct answer, and, very critical and, that they felt the project was being well managed and would not be a problem as indicated above, could have posted it.

All in all I think the fucking system works pretty well, don't you?
