Yes, but your pump in your house will be running for a long time. Assuming you

have well that yields approx. 5 gallons of pressure per minute (3 gal is low, 7 gal

is high) 5000 gal divided by 5 gal. per minute = 1000 minutes/60 minutes per hour=

16.67 hours. It will take over 16 hours to fill the pool if you run your garden hose

non-stop. This may burn up your pump in your house. I would run the hose about

5 hours per day and you will fill your pool in about 3 days. That way the pump is

not overworked. You may want to time the water coming out of the garden hose

by filling a gallon jug to see how much pressure you actually have. Or you could

simply have a bulk-water company fill the pool in approx. 15 minutes but it costs

about $200 for this option.
