Using a little sump pump to pump water from the creek to the pool took about 8 hours total. I started filling the pool about 2:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon and about 9:30 p.m. it was pretty close to being full. Being it was dark I unplugged the sump pump and finished filling it this morning while we were uncovering the pool.
The water in the pool from last year looked crystal clear, that was until we added the creek water. Even with all the rain we had the water still doesn't look too bad. I do see a little silt in the center of the pool, but I'll get that when I sweep it plus in a day or two the water should be crystal clear again.
We did have one or two years the pool looked like crap. I remember the one year the creek was pretty muddy looking, and the water looked brown, but it to cleared up in about three days. The other time (was probably the worst), tree leaves was laying on the pool cover and when it lays there in the water, it turns green and stinks! Well, that year the pool cover decided to rip and all then rotting leaves, and Alge went into the pool! What a mess that was, the water was green, and everything was on the bottom of the pool. We got it cleaned up though.
Here are a few pics of the pool uncovered. We still have to put the steps in as well as a few other little things, but it's pretty much ready to go.
