It can take a
considerable amount of water to fill up your swimming pool. The overall amount
of it as well as the time will depend on the size of swimming pool that you
own. It is very important that you go about it the right way. That way you
won’t end up using any more water than you absolutely have to. Starting out
with a very clean swimming pool is important. Take the time to remove any dirt
or debris that may have found its way inside. You don’t want the new water to
be dirty from the very start.
You also need to do
some checking around with the various pieces of equipment. Even if your items
are new don’t skip this important aspect of things. Make sure the filter and the pump both work
like they should. You don’t want to turn on the pump though until you have the
swimming pool filled half way with water. Otherwise you run the risk of burning
it up.
You do want to have
the circulation system on the entire time while filling up the swimming pool
though. Even though it can take many hours to fill up the swimming pool someone
needs to keep an eye on it. Don’t turn the water on and then leave your home.
Someone needs to be there to turn off the water if there is any type of problem
that develops. It isn’t a good idea to allow it to fill up overnight either due
to the same issue.
Don’t be tempted to
add any types of chemicals to the swimming pool until you have filled it up.
Then you can add only what you need to based on the size and type of swimming
pool you own. Make sure you are very careful with this process. If you don’t
balance things out correctly you may have to drain the water out and start all
over again. This isn’t going to make you happy or reflect well upon your water
bill next month.
Make sure you have
all of the supplies on hand that you will need to stabilize the water. Use your
testing strips to determine where everything is at with it. One of the most
important aspects to pay attention to is the Ph level. You may need to add
various chemicals to get it where it should be. There are testing kits with
strips that you simply place in the water and then compare the color it turns
to a chart.
While adding water
to your swimming pool can be the most time consuming aspect of it, definitely
worth the while. You want to have clear water that has the right mix of
chemicals in it for you to swim in. You don’t want to worry about bacteria,
algae, or your skin drying out. If you do your part from the very start with
filling up your swimming pool you won’t have any problems with it at all.
In some areas there
are water restrictions that apply as well. You may find you have to get a
permit to fill up your swimming pool. If you are restricted to a certain amount
of water to use or certain days and hours you need to follow them. It will take
longer to fill up your swimming pool but conserving water is very important for
your community.
