Water conservation pool

Abstract

In the invention, a lower water chamber is constructed and held in a bladder which underlies the floor of the pool. The lower water chamber constitutes the base of the pool and is initially hollow and empty before being filled with water. The water chamber has a fill opening and a drain opening. The fill opening has a valve for receiving a standard garden hose. The drain opening preferably also has a rigid connection for receiving a standard garden hose. After the water bladder is filled, the user closes the fill opening and the drain to make a closed water bladder. The water bladder is preferably made of a plastic, polyolefin, or elastomeric type of material which is watertight and strong enough to hold the weight of children.

1 . A water conservation pool comprising:
 a. a water bladder having an inlet, wherein the water bladder is hollow and flexible for filling with water, wherein the water bladder is strong enough to support the weight of children on top;   b. a bounce surface disposed on a top surface of the water bladder;   c. a water wall for retaining water in a water open area, wherein the water wall is filled with a fluid and has an inflation pressure such that it remains substantially rigid during use and supports the water bladder around a periphery of the water bladder.   
   
   
       2 . The water conservation pool of claim one, wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower such that it has sufficient inflation pressure to prevent substantial deformation of the water bladder. 
   
   
       3 . The water conservation pool of claim one wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from an air blower. 
   
   
       4 . The water conservation pool of claim one, wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower, wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from the air blower, wherein the water wall retains a shallow pool water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       5 . The water conservation pool of claim one, wherein the bounce surface is not flat, but instead defines a shallow basin for retaining a shallow pool of water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       6 . The water conservation pool of claim one, wherein the bounce surface is flat and further including water bladder walls protruding from the water bladder, wherein the water bladder walls retain water in a shallow pool above the water bladder. 
   
   
       7 . The water conservation pool of claim one, wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower, wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from the air blower, wherein the water wall retains a shallow pool water above the water bladder, wherein the bounce surface is not flat, but instead defines a shallow basin for retaining a shallow pool of water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       8 . A water conservation pool comprising:
 a. a water bladder having an inlet, wherein the water bladder is hollow and flexible for filling with water, wherein the water bladder is strong enough to support the weight of children on top, wherein the water bladder has a substantially circular footprint;   b. a bounce surface which is substantially circular disposed on a top surface of the water bladder;   c. a water wall for retaining water in a water open area, wherein the water wall is filled with a fluid and has an inflation pressure such that it remains substantially rigid during use and supports the water bladder around a periphery of the water bladder;   d. a buffer area defined on a top surface of the water wall, wherein the buffer area surrounds the bounce surface.   
   
   
       9 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower such that it has sufficient inflation pressure to prevent substantial deformation of the water bladder. 
   
   
       10 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from an air blower. 
   
   
       11 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower, wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from the air blower, wherein the water wall retains a shallow pool water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       12 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the bounce surface is not flat, but instead defines a shallow basin for retaining a shallow pool of water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       13 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the bounce surface is flat and further including water bladder walls protruding from the water bladder, wherein the water bladder walls retain water in a shallow pool above the water bladder. 
   
   
       14 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower, wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from the air blower, wherein the water wall retains a shallow pool water above the water bladder, wherein the bounce surface is not flat, but instead defines a shallow basin for retaining a shallow pool of water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       15 . The water conservation pool of  claim 8 , wherein the buffer area has a flat top surface. 
   
   
       16 . The water conservation pool of  claim 15 , bounce surface is not flat, but instead defines a shallow basin for retaining a shallow pool of water above the water bladder. 
   
   
       17 . The water conservation pool of  claim 15 , wherein the bounce surface is flat and further including water bladder walls protruding from the water bladder, wherein the water bladder walls retain water in a shallow pool above the water bladder. 
   
   
       18 . The water conservation pool of  claim 15 , wherein the water wall is filled with air blown from an air blower, wherein the water wall has air stabilizing chambers that are filled with air blown from the air blower, wherein the water wall retains a shallow pool water above the water bladder, wherein the bounce surface is not flat, but instead defines a shallow basin for retaining a shallow pool of water above the water bladder.
