For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...
EN: Pump situated on Trešnjevka market has already been repainted once, when it became something green with cherries (see image). Recently, the pump has been pimped again, this time as Cibona tower. Since the pump is still active (nothing sexual, it only means it has water), and being located on a big market where it is in use the whole day, the deteriorating is quite visible – today’s look is quite far from how it looks in these photos.
Something more about the Cibona tower, inspiration for this pump’s look – it is situated near the Kranjčevićeva and Savska street crossing, and it was built in 1987. With its height of 92 m, it is the third highest skyscraper in Croatia, and just next to it there is a big sports arena with 5400 seats.

HR: Pumpa koja se nalazi na Trešnjevačkoj tržnici je već prošla jedan ciklus farbanja, kad je postala nešto zeleno ukrašeno trešnjama (vidi sliku). Nedavno je pumpa ponovo spimpana u stilu Ciboninog tornja. Kako je pumpa aktivna (ništa seksualno, to samo znači da ima vodu), a i kako se nalazi na tržnici na kojoj je praktički u upotrebi cijeli dan, propadanje je vidljivo – današnji izgled je daleko od ovoga na slikama.
Nešto i o Ciboninom tornju, inspiraciji za izgled ove pumpe – toranj smješten blizu križanja Kranjčevićeve i Savske ceste, izgrađen je 1987. godine povodom održavanja Univerzijade u Zagrebu. S visinom od 92 m, treći je neboder po visini u Hrvatskoj, samo 2.6 m niži od Zagrepčanke, a kraj tornja se nalazi i Cibonina sportska dvorana s 5400 sjedala.
Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
