When you imagine filling your pool for the summer for the first time, you might think all it takes is letting water run from a hose. The cost of filling a pool through that method could be tricky to calculate. According to the video “Should you fill your pool with a water truck?”, the superficial answer to which is the more cost-effective way to fill your pool is using a pool water delivery service. These services transport pool water in a truck and seem cheaper in theory. In practice, filling your pool with water from a hose can cost less if you know how to calculate the rates.
Since every city and municipality uses different variables to charge water rates, it can seem intimidating to figure out how much it would cost to fill your pool with hose water from the city. Sometimes, using a hose is less expensive based on the rates for water and sewer fees in your area. In other cases, doing the math can be such a headache that the straightforward cost of a water delivery truck pays for itself in peace of mind. If you use a water truck, you may still need to top it off with hose water so be prepared for the additional charge for city water.
