SeanB,

If you have the other issues worked out, dirt from the line will not be a problem. I fill my pool from my pond......the dirt and junk get filtered out in fairly short order. You'll need quite a bit of chlorine.

Eljefe's idea worked for me. I layed a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the floor of the pool (with concrete blocks on top) and allowed the water to fall directly onto it. It diffused the blast nicely. I was not smart enough to use the blanket....that's a nice precaution.

PS - If the other issues are not worked out, you may want to check the quality of the food at the county jail before proceeding further.......or perhaps your spouse can bring you some fried chicken on Sundays.
