Filling pool with firehose???

[eljefe281]

Could you lay a big blanket on the bottom of the pool, put a sheet of plywood on top of the blanket, a couple of cement blocks on top of the plywood (so it won't float), and then let the firehose blast away against the plywood?

I hope you checked with the municiple water authority (unless you plan a "dead of night filling"

They will, at the very least, want to charge you for the water. I believe there are also some laws on the books which prohibit you from doing this too, That is why the job requires some special tools.

Sorry to be a "kill joy" but what is right is right

you'll be sorry with all the dirt and contaminates you get from that line.

SeanB,

If you have the other issues worked out, dirt from the line will not be a problem. I fill my pool from my pond......the dirt and junk get filtered out in fairly short order. You'll need quite a bit of chlorine.

Eljefe's idea worked for me. I layed a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the floor of the pool (with concrete blocks on top) and allowed the water to fall directly onto it. It diffused the blast nicely. I was not smart enough to use the blanket....that's a nice precaution.

PS - If the other issues are not worked out, you may want to check the quality of the food at the county jail before proceeding further.......or perhaps your spouse can bring you some fried chicken on Sundays.

I like Eljefe's idea. That should give adequate deflection.

Last I checked, they don't lock you up for misdemeanors, although fried chicken does sound pretty good. Don't worry, I've got my bases covered.

Does this make me a willing accomplice?
