Find the conditions that promote bioluminecent plankton
growth and introduce them to a pool environment, add your
plankton and go for a swim at night, any disturbed water will
glow bright blue. I've been swimming in bioluminesent water
and it is amazing, all the water you touch glows in a halo
around you, would be a big seller in pools.

http://www.biotoy.com/h2oglow.htm Protein mix makes tapwater glow - about a glas's full for $9.99. Ask for bulk discount? [jutta, Sep 15 2002]

You'll have to find something else than chlorine, bromine, etc. to hold down the bacteria count. |
|
|
The bioluminesecent animals themselves could prey on
bacteria. |
|
|
Quinine (as found in tonic water) glows prettily under UV... cheaper than protein mix!
You wouldn't get a halo or wake though.
Croissant all the same |

"Swim in glowing yoghurt" . Hmmmm. |

Now, Gulherme, have we been taking our medication regularly, like we promised Doctor ? We don't want to go back in the Special Treatment Room, do we ? |

To clean it you just set the skin aflame, a la Lake Erie. |

This idea is getting better and better. |

ahh the sweet smell of cat urine. Yeah using quinine
would be pretty cool, one of my friends has a pool with
underwater lights, maby I could convince him to put in
blacklight globes and put some quinine in the pool, does
anybody know what affects it would have on the pool. |
|
|
The pool would never get malaria. |
|
|
If you're going to put quinine in the pool, why not go the whole hog and fill it up with gin & tonic? |
|
|
Being able to play pool in the dark could be useful, but I
worry that I'd knock my beer over while cueing. If
Bioluminesceent Beer was provided too, this idea might
work. |

|
If you had CO2 being fired into the pool to soda it up, surely the carbonic acid thus produced would help kill bacteriums? And it would be ooh tickly to swim in. Lovely bubbly. |
|
|
lets hope no one's got a serious allergy to the bioluminescent bacteria. another serious problem, what if they got into "various orfices" and gave you a glowing... well you know |
|
|
you're not safe even in the office these days. |
|
|
Something other than chlorine, bromine, etc - salt? |
