Im getting a new pool 6 ft. deep and 15x30 how long will it take to fill with water hose from a spicket ?

Question

should i use a large water truck or hose

Answer 1

best use a water truck or you will have a water bill around $300,

it would take close to a wk with a garden hose.  

Answer 2

FOREVER..DON'T DO IT!!! My dad used to do that and I can't even imagine what the water bills were!  

Answer 3

If allowable fill from your house water, should cost about $75, here in Southern California.  Some places require you to have water delivered which is something to consider if you are on a well water system.  Well water can have high mineral and metal concentrations that are difficult to deal with.

Your pool should be about 15,000 gallons if not rectangular.  But if you fill from your house water use your water meter to tell how much water you put in your pool.  Highly recommended since you will know your pools gallonage and perform more accurate chemical dosage.  Contact me for more information on this if you are interested.

With normal pressure and volume you should be able to do this in 16-18 hours.

You're welcome!!

Answer 4

well that is about 25000 gallons of water it will take a long while  , and if you are on a well do it slowly and on public water  your water bill will be enormous . call your local firehouse and see what they charge .

Answer 5

In my area they charge for sewer by how much water you use. That about doubles the bill.  That is why trucking it in might be worth the money, they don't pay for that sewer charge.    

Answer 6

Figure 6-9 gallons per minute from the hose.  A water truck is worth the money -- it saves your water bill, and your pump if you're on a well system.
