How do you fill a 27 foot pool with well water without draining the well?

Answer 1

I filled my 18'x44" above ground pool with well water by running the hose for two hours, turning it off for 1 hour, then running it again for two hours, etc. It took from Thursday afternoon until Monday afternoon to complete. I did not do it during the night hours (8 p.m. 'til 7 a.m.). My bigger concern was ruining my well pump. I didn't have any problems doing it this way. Good luck!

If you have a volunteer fire dept. nearby, sometimes they fill it for a small donation.

Answer 2

Yes you can, however you have to be careful you do not burn the well pump up. run the pump for an hour then shut the hose off let the pump cool down, for about 20 min then repeat the process until the desired level is reached.

Well water for poolYes.

Answer 3

Yes, it's ok to fill from a well. It is smart to have the water tested. A pool supply comapny should be able to do this. The exception would be filling from a shallow well that may contain pesticides or petroleum (gasoline or oil). This can happen when older storage tanks rust through and the product contaminates the ground water.

Answer 4

Technically its possible. Usually the pool pump is hooked up to a sump hole, to remove ground water from around the pool. Depending on the water analysis of your well water though it may or may not be worth using, depending on the required balancing products, and effect on your filter/liner, etc. please ask this question again if this does not answer your question. warpgame@hotmail.com
