I know this topic has been discussed before... I have a well and a 33k gal pool to fill next week. My well and pump deliver 30 gpm. My well driller said that as long as I can run a big enough (or multiple) lines and keep the pump running all the without having to start and stop that I will have no problem at all with the pump or well. The pump cools itself while running and is much better off running continuously.
I really did not want to resort to trucking in water... at a cost of over $2000.
My only other issue is iron in my water. It is a pretty low level... 0.56 (drinking water federal limit is 0.30). But it stains my walkways from sprinklers over long periods of time. The pH is also low... 4.3. My treated water has no iron and pH of about 7.0. So, my decision is to run it through my water filters or not. I would have to let the softener regenerate every 5k gallons or so... which takes an hour. I do not want to have any iron issue with my new plaster. Or an issue with the pH being at 4.3 for a few days before they add the chemicals.
Anyone who has filled with well water and has low pH or high iron, I'd appreciate hearing if you ran the raw water into the pool or filtered?
