Is it unwise to fill my pool this early?
In the spring, my sump pumps out about 400-700 gallons of clean groundwater per day, depending on rainfall. I can re-route it to a hose that would feed into my pool. Of course, I would add the appropriate amount of chlorine to keep it at shock level and keep the winter cover on. I just figured this water is free as opposed to the fire hydrant I used last year. We're also safe any freezing. It would take a couple of weeks to fill, but June is at least a couple of weeks away.
