How to Fill a Pool Using Well Water
- 1). Fill a 5-gallon bucket with well water and pour in biocide purchased from a local pool supply center. Use in the proportion indicated on the packaging.
- 2). Wait five to 10 minutes. If the water turns green or brown, your well water has high ion levels. Using a cartridge filter on your pool will not keep the water clean. You will need a sand filter for the pool.
- 3). Connect the garden hose to a faucet near the well pump. An outside faucet located on your house will work as well.
- 4). Place the hose end into the pool. Turn on the water and ensure the hose does not come out of the pool. Small pools with often fill in 24 hours, while larger pools may take up to 48 hours.
