We're replacing the liner and some wall panels and will need to fill our roughly 40k gallon pool with water soon. Water delivery is about $350/6000 gallons so we'd be looking at close to $2400 if we had city water delivered. I'm leaning towards using our well to fill the pool. We have a water softener system, and I also installed a sediment filter before the water softener and also a screw-on hose filter afterwards. Took the water to get tested and it's pretty good. Very low (less than 0.1ppm) iron.
Is it ok to let the pump run until the well is dry, then cut it off and let the well fill back up? Or should I open the spigot maybe just halfway and let it run like that? Or run it full bore but maybe for an hour at a time, then cut it off for a bit, and repeat?
We are not living in the house right now so having water available to flush the toilet, do the dishes, etc during the fill is not an issue.
