That's if it's a tanker, we have hydrants. So yes a hookup to a hydrant would be nice if it wasn't 200 yards down the street.

 

Do you think we could sneak a bunch of 4 inch line down the street at 2 am and not get noticed....

 

I know that I was a fire fighter for 23 years....

Our trucks only hauled 2000

 

If Steve supplies the beer, I'm in!! Midnight water acquisition!!LOL!

 

yup. it took 5 hours to get load #1 and 6 hours to get load #2

 

our tanker used to hold 5,000 gallons

 

Yeah, I just did the calculation 24' round pool 52" sides = 13,595 gallons

 

but you have to have a meter for private hydrant use.
i have 2 hydrants within 50 feet from my place.

 

Steve sorry to hear about the pool issue. I can supply the hose and pumper at 1500 gallons a minute.... so it would take about 9 minutes to fill if the water main can supply the volume...lol.

Now with my department, we use to help residents out when we had our pond to supply the water with. It was not the cleanest and would need a lot of chmicals to get it reasy for use, but what the heck, it was free and gave the guys some training on drafting. Now with the municipal water, it is considered theft if it is used in swimming pools if we did it so that practice is no more.

 

hey Steve, did you see about the "beautiful" day i had today??

double post.

 

Yeah, I know that's why when the water department guy stopped to see what was happening, he shot away with a "Good Luck" before I even had the chance to ask....like I said he is on the fire department too...might even have been chief at one point....

It's filling slowly but surely, went home for lunch and it's about 18" deep.

 

Is the plug a permanent mount that came off or a wire harness that came loose?

 

it is the harness one with the 2 wires in it.

 

that sucks Tom, but look at the bright side, at least it was a cheap and easy fix!
