AG Pool Install Question

[drumr]

Glepage,
I have the same size pool as you do and my installer suggested to fill it about 1/4 of the way up with the garden hose to let the liner settle in place and then fill it the rest of the way with a truck or fire hydrant (if available). I actually have a hydrant in the corner of my yard, so I made a donation to the fire department and they came out and finished filling it up for me. We were swimming 45 minutes later, no wrinkle problem at all. This year I put a new liner in and filled it up with a garden hose. If you have decent water pressure you should be able to fill it in a about 2 days.

Thanks for the reply. I think we will start with the hose and I will talk to my neighbor who is a fireman in town and see if they can accept a donation to fill the rest of the pool.

I installed my pool myselft last august and called around to get prices for the truck to bring water. It was outrageous how much it was. I used 2 5/8" hoses and it took 16 hours to fill my pool. I have an AG 24/52 pool as well. I have no wrinkles in my pool.

Hi, there is no advantage to a water truck except speed of filling. Sarting off with a garden hose is strongly recommended.

Good Luck, Dennis
