Any recommendations for pool water?

[rw02kr43]

I'm looking for someone to deliver 4,400 gallons of pool water for our pool in Paragon. Any recommendations?

Thanks
Jason

Garden hose? Worked for my 30,000gl swimming pool.

Garden hose will work just fine. Use duct tape to cover the end of the hose (just the metal part. Still gotta have an opening) so you don't risk cutting your liner. You can always pay for it to be hauled. If that's what you'd like, call your local pool shop. They'll have a name. I built many in ground pools and almost every time we used the garden hose. A few customers wanted it hauled in.

Isn't it cheaper for pool water delivery?

Ain't you supposed to be sick????

No...it is quicker though...sign an affidavit and the water company will not charge sewer fees for that water.

I filled our pool with the hose. The first year I used our well water and I had no end of trouble with alkalinity and pH, but after that, we had city water and it was much, much better.

Like Glockman said, call your sewage utility to find out how not to be charged the sewage treatment charge for the water you put in the pool.

Assuming that you're sewage is based on water usage. If you pay a set fee for sewage, it won't make a diff.

Another vote for the hose. That's what we always used growing up, and what my folks still use to this day.

You can get pool water delivered? I've never heard of such a thing.

The other day, I saw a big pool water delivery tanker truck on the side of the road connected with a big hose to a fire hydrant.

I found that odd because how would they pay for the water they got from the hydrant?

They have a portable meter that hooks up to the hydrant.

I just filled ~22,000 gal pool with my hose and as usual it's off the scale high for hardness, Ph and Alchy. I have a couple pounds of dry acid to dissolve this weekend.

If they're honest. Unless caught, there is zero proof once the residual water on the street dries up. Unless of course they close the hydrant too fast and create a water hammer, or don't use that particular plug regularly and don't realize that it slams shut and causes a main break. In which case, there will be a substantial mess that still most likely will not be traced back to the water boys.

There's a well known pool water supplier in my area I happen to know does that, plus going to hydrants in isolated rural areas away from prying eyes.
Judging by your listed location, that was probably the same guy, and yes, it's stealing.

Let's not forget you can have heated pool water delivered, nothing like 86* pool water delivered!

Nice. Having an unlimited supply of goods to sell that costs them nothing. Good business model.....until they get caught.

Might try your local fire department. I have a couple friends on a volunteer department and they deliver water all the time. I think they charge a penny a gallon.
