    My pool is 25,000 gals and I ran a hose from the frt and back. It took a day and a half. I called the water co to ask how much that would cost. It was $145. The local water trucks wanted $900. I decided to save a few bucks.

    Our 16,000 gallon pool was filled from a fire hydrant (our pool contractor coordinated with the city fire department) after it was built about 3-1/2 years ago and did not have dirty water nor complaints from neighbors (or ourselves) regarding sediment in the tap water. I suppose this is one of those things that is sometimes a problem and sometimes it is not.

    I wasn't around while they filled the pool so don't know what they did to avoid the pressure of water hitting the walls, but since it was the pool contractor that coordinated this, I'm sure he did something, but don't know exactly what.
