The Swimming Pool as a Money-Printing Machine: Profit, Skepticism, and the Water Debate
The whole idea a swimming pool acting like some kind of money-printing machine that’s what caught everyone’s attention online. It started when some content creator shared details about a friend's business in Meerut. They were talking about a pool that supposedly earned nearly twenty-two and a half lakh rupees every month during the summer holidays. It just sort of divides people on social media, you know?
Pooja, the creator, posted this stuff on X. She recounted chatting with her friend who runs a farm along NH-58 in Meerut. The pool is right there, on the property. She called it a highly profitable seasonal venture.
She casually asked her friend if it actually made any meaningful income or if it was just some hobby thing. The response she got seemed modest at first. But then the numbers came out. Suddenly, it looked way more lucrative than she first thought.
The post said the pool gets between seven hundred and eight hundred visitors daily during the summer break. If you take an average of seventy-five hundred people showing up, and they pay a hundred rupees each time to get in that’s seventy-five thousand rupees just for one day. Over thirty days? That hits about twenty-two and a half lakh monthly earnings during that peak season.
But she didn't stop there. She said it keeps making money even when the summer rush is over. Around two hundred fifty people still visit daily, even in regular times. At that same entry price, that’s another twenty-five thousand rupees per day . That adds up to roughly seven lakh monthly revenue from just those visits alone.
When talking about costs, she mentioned something simple. The land belongs to her friend. No rent money there. And they only have two security guards working there. Their combined salary is about twenty thousand a month .
Then there was the part that really got people talking the water. Pooja suggested that whenever the pool water gets replaced, it doesn't just get thrown away. It gets sold to local farmers for irrigation instead of being wasted. She felt like this meant the same resource could make money twice: once from swimming and then again from farming use.
That claim started a huge reaction online. Thousands of people jumped in with their thoughts.
One user was all about the concept. They wrote something like, “The smartest businesses are the ones that pull money from the same thing multiple times. A pool making cash from visitors and then water for irrigation? That’s just maximizing what you have.”
But others weren't so convinced by the numbers alone. One person pushed back on the figures. They commented that revenue doesn't tell the whole story. You have to look at expenses alongside the income. The real picture isn't always obvious from the surface.
Some people cared less about the profit margin and more about what it meant for living. One comment suggested swimming pools don't need to be money-makers to be worthwhile. Sometimes, just quiet mornings and splashing laughter are enough returns.
Then you got the skepticism about the visitor counts. Someone asked, “ Seven hundred to eight hundred people a day ? How do they manage that crowd? Are people only coming for the swim, or is there some other big attraction on the farm?”
Another one was really doubtful. They wrote something sharp. Even the busiest pools in residential areas during peak summer don't hit five hundred or seven hundred visitors daily. This story about a farmhouse needs context. If you’re talking about city outskirts, that pool owner should be providing pickup and drop-off services, free food something to pull in seven hundred fifty people on odd days?
And then there was the water issue again. Some users completely dismissed it. They just said, “Seriously? What use is pool water for irrigation? It has chlorine and chemicals! That stuff messes up farming. These are stupid stories cooked up just to get engagement.”
