For one, boatloads of CYA.
That sound expensive!! I have heard of fire engines coming in and filling the huge inground pools, but I can’t imagine anybody is going to do that for my little bitty 15 foot intex pool. Doesn’t hurt to ask though. Where else would you even have that brought in from besides the fire department?
How expensive are those? Seriously between trying to get my mother sorted in her move to a nursing home and the gazillion pool chemicals I have already purchased in the last two months my money is getting very thin. And considering it’s August I’m kind of considering just going ahead and closing it for the year and try back again next year.
Gonna be honest here, I’m struggling to visualize how I would put Pollyfill and a water hose threw a bucket, and have them filling up a pool without the hose coming out of the bucket and the Polyfill going everywhere. Or perhaps I’m just not very creative lol
I can’t answer that for sure, considering it takes several hours or more to fill it back up, I’m sure I have done something else water wise in the house.
1. They will absolutely come and put paid for water delivery in your pool
So you see you are doing the tests right! You have good water as far as ph and TA. We can work on it once you dump that toxic soup the pool store made for you
Iron-VERY interesting about the first water out of the hose. Do something for me. Go to another hose bib and see what THAT water looks like when it first comes out. That one seemed fine
How well do you know your neighbors? Can you ask to see THEIR bib water? Not a problem I will check tomorrow
What does the inside of the tank part of your toilet look like? Is it discolored? My toilet has some iron colored stains on the bottom around the guts, but not terrible. The other bathroom I can’t really tell because quite honestly there’s a good bit of mildew in it. It’s a spare bathroom that no one ever uses or flushes so the water is kind of stagnant. Note to self go pour some bleach in that toilet tank
Do you know which of your hose bibs get the water from the city line first? I have some ideas. I do not. I would imagine it comes to the front of the house first, but then again my kitchen is on the front of the house and it takes forever for hot water to come through. However both of my hose faucets are about the same distance from the front of the house just ones on the left of the house and ones on the right of the house.
That’s actually not as bad as I thought pricewise. So what do I Google? Just water delivery?
OK now I can visualize it. Thank you. The only skimmer you can really use with the Intex pool is the one that kind of hangs over the side, it’s not one that’s like built into the side of the pool. But yes I do have it. I put some poly fill in there shortly after lunch today and as of right now it’s not discolored in the least. However my liner is pretty discolored and gets worse by the day adding liquid chlorine to it daily
Yeah just pool water delivery. They just load it from water treatment facility. Remember my prices here may be wildly different than where you are. Also call about 3 or 4 to find best price because they can all be quite different from my experience.
That’s definitely worth looking into because I end up with an 80 or $90 water bill when I fill it from the hose anyway so this isn’t really much worse
Home Depot bucket with lid and 2 bags of $5 poly fill from Hobby Lobby stuffed in it. Drill more holes out than the one in for the hose. I was going to donate my bucket to the cause but then I realized I could waste the $2.47 lid instead of the $8 bucket and we are thrifty here.
