    Default Filling pool with firehose???

    A friend of mine has access to the tools and firehose to connect to the firehydrant outside my house. He said he has refilled his pool this way in only about 40 minutes and has offered to let me do the same when filling our new pool.

    My concern is that this will obviously be a very high volume and pressure stream of water. Would it be safe on the new plaster to fill the pool that way? I was thinking that maybe I should let it fill about 20% with my hose and then put in the fire hose so that it would just be pushing against more water and not directly against the plaster. Thoughts?
