how long does it take to fill a pool
How quickly can your hose deliver water? If the hose can deliver water at the rate of 5 gallons per minute (one gallon every 12 seconds), then it will take (5000 / 5 = 1000) 1000 minutes or 16 hours 40 minutes. If your hose can deliver water at 4 gal/minute it will take 1250 minutes or 20 hours 20 minutes. So, get a gallon container and your hose and a stop watch (or a clock with a second hand) and time how long it takes to fill one gallon ... then how many gallons per minute (divide the number of seconds for one gallon into 60 and you'll get gallons per minute).
