For an average size pool I just use hose water, 2 jugs of chlorine, about 6lbs of stabilizer and a bottle of muriatic acid. Then test after a few days. No problems.
@@404-Error-Not-Foundwe filled our neighborhood pool a few years back by renting a meter from the water company and hooking it to a fire hydrant. It filled so fast! We own the fire hydrants since it's a housing complex so the fire department wasn't involved.
In my district, fire departments will fill it for free if you register your pool as a water point for use during a fire so the tanker can refill from it.
Back in our days we use to climb over several mountains under the storm or scorching heat of the sun carrying water one bucket at a time and filling our pool.
@@ahall9839 Yes my friend of course, so we know hose move water right? But hose only move water so fast, so how do we fix it? Bigger longer hose! The proof is in the video, hose=water but big hose=more water It’s these scientific advancements that will make us an interstellar species.
I throw a garden hose into mine then I turn the water on for about 30 hours and then it's full. And it cost me less than $27.00 to fill. I'm sure that truck costs a lot more.
@@litamtondy all over the US water isn't that expensive... Outside the US it may be but not in the US. And I live in one of the most expensives states in the union.
Yeah but usually way more expensive. I filled mine with a garden house and after figuring it out it was about 150 to fill. A company like that wanted $500 to come out and do it
My dad was the fire chief for a small town volunteer department. Every summer he use to bring the firetruck over and fill the pool. It was normal back then.
Ask the local water company to hook up a hydrant meter and fill from the hydrant, much faster All you “experts” are annoying and don’t know what you’re talking about
I tried with three around our town and all three said they don’t do that anymore because to many customers were complaining and threatening being sued sadly. I would love to find a company that can do this.
When we built our pool, we just used a hose. Took a couple days! I was like 10 at the time, buy should ask my dad what the monthly water bill was that month ha.
@@tuono2914 Me begging my dad to take me to the Swimming pool we dont have to pay for (cuz the Owner works in the department my Mom is in and its very good rank)
I use a gas powered water pump to pump water from the nearby river (about 100 feet away) through an old sand filter and into the pool, then I chlorinate it Edit: before chlorine cost is $0
That’s funny because the fire department use to empty mine when there was a fire! We had no hydrants on street 😮 1st time it happened I had just got finished treating pool with $600+ of Bacquacil pool chemicals. Shits expensive but pool was always crystal clear and no burning chlorine in eyes or mouth. Had a brush fire along back property line, FD came with tanker but ran out of water. They threw the suction hoses in my pool and emptied it in about 10 minutes! It was like watching my $600+ go up in smoke 🤦♂️ Put in a bill to town for reimbursement! Rejected with a letter stating town bylaws give them authority to use any available water in an emergency because there is no hydrant system! Finally got town hydrant system a few years later but I ended up paying for that thru a raise in my taxes!😮🤯🤷♂️
Didn't know this was a thing. I usually just run the hose all day till next day and it will be filled by morning, then I'll add chlorine tabs in there with shock and it will be good to go lol.
Could exhaust the resources of the well or tank storage system for water they have. Big oversight in these comments. If not then yes this is retarded dystopia shit they prob do in California whatever.
Me and my buddy on pool refill day would take the garden hose, put it in the pool and slide down the ramp that leads into the deep end until the truck was ready to fill
