We checked into having our 26000 gallon pool filled by truck. However the companies could not guarantee that the water would be any better or have less metals than what was coming our of our well.

We ended up filling the pool from our well. It took five days. We prefiltered the water through a whole house iron filter which then fed a softener. It took several fills of salt and regeneration cycles to complete the process. We then pretreated the water with metal out and Polyquat 60% added the salt and let it circulate for 3-5 days before cranking up the SWG. The water has been crystal clear since startup in early March.

I now fill from a water source that is not softened but has a whole house iron filter on it. I don't want the softened water changing my salt levels.
