Why it’s important to level the ground before setting up an above ground pool?

Leveling your above-ground pool ensures a stable foundation, prolongs the pool’s lifespan, and promotes safety. Even a slightly unlevel pool can result in damage to the pool’s structure and in extreme cases, the walls may collapse, resulting in serious injury. We ask that once you get your above-ground pool up, add 3-4 inches of water in the bottom and measure the water level all the way around. It should be within 1-1 ½ inches level. If it is not, please work to get your pool level before scheduling your pool water delivery.

How far in advance should I schedule my water delivery?

We can usually add you to the schedule within 1 to 4 days. If you are replacing or cleaning your vinyl liner pool, please schedule your water delivery accordingly. Your liner pool should not sit empty. Please consult a pool professional before draining your pool.

An in-ground liner pool should never be drained below 6-8 inches in the shallow end. If it must be drained further a vacuum will have to be installed behind the liner. Consult a pool professional. Above-ground liner pools should not be drained below 8-12 inches from the bottom. Consult a pool professional if it has to be completely emptied.

How do you fill a pool?

Our water tankers will pull up to your property, and one of our trained technicians will connect a hose to the tank and run it to the pool. Our drivers have the experience needed to navigate challenging driveways and come prepared with a standard of 300 feet of hose, ensuring even the most remote pools can be serviced. To prevent the pool from filling too quickly and causing any damage, we begin by idling the water pumps during the initial few inches of filling. The exact flow is adjusted based on factors such as weather conditions, pool type, and specific circumstances, gradually increasing the water flow for a smooth and controlled fill.

Is your water treated?

Bruce & Son Water Hauling uses stainless steel tanks to haul potable water that’s drawn from a municipal water supply. It’s the same quality you would receive if you were connected to a county or town water system, which is regularly tested for quality.

What is your process for filling a well?

How much water is needed to fill a well depends on the size, current water level, and what may be wrong with it. Our team will fill the well and let the first fill settle. If it needs more, we’ll repeat the process, and sometimes fill a third time, depending on the well. Also, if the land around the well is flat and not too close to your house, we’ll release water on the ground surrounding the well to help sustain it a little longer.
