Jacuzzi? They seem evolved for water that’s cool, even cold, by human standards: significantly higher temps might be uncomfortable. Not sure about their reaction to agitated, aerated water: stimulating with all that extra O2? Adrenaline spike from feeling “strong currents”?
Anything that can provide food for mold getting wet is normally a very bad idea.
Had a relative who worked in a building where contractors thought it would be a brilliant idea to put insulation inside one of the vent systems (not both oddly), which was also in a very humid environment. Forget if that was the one that also had the humidifier in it that they claimed didn’t work and didn’t do maintenance on. There was a lot of mold issues.
What was great is when they decided that the mold levels were bad enough for one area in the building but claimed that they weren’t for the other nearby area and refused to test the other.
Natural swimming pools, also known as biological or ecological pools, are designed to mimic natural bodies of water, relying on natural filtration and plant life instead of chemicals to maintain water purity. They offer a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional chemical pools, promoting a healthy and eco-friendly swimming experience.
That is a design choice. Natural swimming pools are all custom made; Some people think a swimming “pond” is aesthetically pleasing so they keep the plants close. Other people do not and have the plants farther away and you wouldn’t be able tell they weren’t a normal pool just by looking at them. They feel better though, IMHO.
If the Sarnothi are going to live there, they will need to feel safe and have something familiar. I think that Todd would help facilitate that by getting the floor replaced with something moisture-friendly.
Ummm … One of them is missing an arm…. Also I wonder how they’d feel about a jacuzzi….
To be fair that’s just as, if not more, likely to have been caused by one of the giant murder eels as it was by Cern’s doing.

Whose bright idea was it to install carpet in a building primarily occupied by aquatic beings?
Carpet was probably already there. This building wasn’t exactly purpose built for this.
I work in building maintenance. Water, outside of the amount you’d use to clean something, is not your building’s friend.

That would also be a great way of giving the building Legionnaires’ disease.

Above ground pool, definitely the way to go. Just be sure to get a UV sterilization….

That is a pond, and while I’m sure the Sarnothi would like, most people would rather not.
Natural swimming pools seems to be quite popular, mostly as home pool, the plant-life is kept seperate to the swimming area

Also, fish are likewise optional.
Tear the carpeting up, apply a moisture barrier, cover with laminate.
Where is th4e angy child

Rip out the floor, lay down a carpet of moss. The water helps sustain the moss and the sarnothi seem to enjoy the feel of it under their feet.
I’ve seen living moss walls in some of the buildings I’ve worked in, but never a living floor. They don’t stand up to foot traffic.
