Thread: Using Fog over a Pool

Tweet

So I'm in a new house this year with a pool in the backyard. I am planning on building a new trashcan fog chiller to keep a nice low fog over the pool for my party this year. Couple questions: Do you think my cheap 400w fogger will do the trick? I think i may need to upgrade to a 1000w? whats the best fogger for under $100?

What other ideas for decorating a pool? red pool light, and a floating body is about all I have thought of so far.

Fog over the pool sounds neat, just be careful that nobody falls in not knowing that it is a pool.

Swampyness would be cool, but you would likely have to do it yourself. Cattails, lilypads, etc. plus some fog and the creature from the black lagoon and ...

I agree that was my first thought as well. I would definitely recommend some type of barrier around it or marker. You wouldnt want any surprised guests ruining their costumes. Then u'd have plenty in your pool...

you can always let the pool go dont add chlorine and dont clean it.. let it get all alge and a few fish instant pond. ok maybe not.

poolcenter.com has dye's you can add,like red...it's non-toxic, non-staining and non-caustic,if anyone decides to swim,it won't harm them...just a thought!

I was going to put a big block of dry ice in mine and let it bubble away.
I'm not sure how long it will last, but It's a cool effect. (no pun intended)

I've also got an underwater led color changing pond light, which lights up the pool quite well. like this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Fish-Bowl-Spo...item2eaf843cf6
Or if you already have a pool light (I don't) you could probably put a colored lens over top. just an idea.

I'm guessing in ground with a patio around it?

I think green Styrofoam floating platforms with real or fake cat tails, reeds, spanish moss, etc. would be really cool, especially with a red or green lighting and chilled fog. Plus some rubber swamp critters around and swamp sound f/x.

And a barrier of course, to keep the ghouls out of the swamp lol

PinchaPenny pool stores also sells the "Party Pool":

It works great!


PIA to clean the pool filter afterwords though. lol

Depending on your pool type, you might want to suspend the dry ice in something so it doesnt touch the sides or bottom. Im not 100% sure that the extreme cold might not crack it

Great ideas! Thanks. Everybody keeps suggesting to dye the pool but I had no idea I could actually do it. Everything we thought of would have permanently stained I think.. That pool dye is pretty affordable too!

I also really like the idea of making some sort of swampy feel, but Im not sure how much time I will have. But a swamp would fit perfect with the theme this year of Hell on Earth (zombies attacking the house, etc.)

At $5/lb I think I will skip the dry ice idea. It would just cost too much. Thats why Im going to have chilled fog. So any tips on which fogger I should get?
