Converting an Indoor Pool into a Ball Pit
Hi everyone, new to the group here. I know nothing about pools, but am considering buying a house with an indoor pool.
I am not big on swimming, and would rather not have to worry about maintenance/upkeep and running various systems to keep the chlorine smell out of the air.
If I buy the house, I would consider draining the pool and making a massive ball pit like the ones at McDonald's.
So, my question - would this process be as simple as draining the pool and dumping a bunch of balls inside? Then I have nothing to worry about going forward? Or is there anything I would still need to be worried about as far as maintenance?
For reference, here is a picture of the pool area. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
