Pool Fill

[lungs414]

Generally how long does it take to fill pool after liner change. 28000 gallons. I also have 4 hose bibs around the pool. Suffolk County Long Island.

Measure your flow rate at your bibs , see how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon pail , then you can figure how many gallons per minute , then figure gallons per hour . Divide your pools capacity by your gallons per hour calculation and that should give you a rough estimate .

If you can run 2 hoses (from separate bibs) you might get it done a little faster, but not twice as fast - maybe 25% faster, depending on your plumbing and water pressure.

Does not matter 1 bib or 100, you can only get X amount of gallons per hour out of your main water line. 4 hoses will just cause them to have lower pressure, you will have no pressure in your house.

Just refilled my 17k -18k pool. It took 24 hours total with two hoses.
My gas heater got the 65 degree water up to 85 in 14 hours.
