Self Inflating Pool

Abstract

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. The pool is preferably self inflating.

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. an inflatable rim above the water bladder bounce surface;   d. a sidewall extending from the water bladder to the inflatable rim for retaining water in a water open area, wherein the sidewall is collapsible when the pool is empty.   
   
   
       2 . The water conservation pool of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 1 , 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 1 , 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 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 . The water conservation pool of  claim 1 , further comprising substantially vertical inflatable ribs attached to the inflatable rim at a top portion of the inflatable ribs. 
   
   
       9 . The water conservation pool of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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 1 , 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 1 , 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 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises a water wall, 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.
