Fastest way to fill a back garden pool

Conservatory

Spent the evening rigging a 3/4 inch pipe from the attic tank down to the pool. I had to drain the tank which is a bit of a **** thing to do with the water shortage but worth it. It’s a huge pool about the size of a normal patio I half filled it tonight to see how it goes. Took about an hour and a half. I’d say it’ll be quicker once the tank fills right up and increases the pressure.

So people of after hours, while I wait for the pool to drain and have a can, what’s the quickest way to fill a pool?

Get a farmer with a slurry spreader to pump some water out of the local river and fill it for you.

Water might be a bit sh1tty, but at least you'll have the pool filled quick

A hosepipe ban is coming into force on Monday, so fill your boots (not literally, as that would be unnecessary and uncomfortable) between now and then.

It’s not a hose pipe it’s 3/4 inch qual-pex direct from my tank.

I thought you were some kind of plumber, working on the sites and all that.
With all your experience and perfect health, I would have thought you would have the solution in your non-office job brain.

Standpipe key and bar, bit of 60mm hose and you'll be done in 7mins.

I thought of that but I think it’s a legal grey area.

The thread title says fill a back garden pool.

I like your ingenuity I really do. But it’s too late to start a thread asking how to move the sea to the back garden.

It’s an old fire guard keeping all the junk that needs to be skipped away from the baby. The amount of skips I’m going through lately, jaysis that’s a whole new thread. A lot of home improvements being forced upon me.

I told the clock fella he cracked me up every time and I got a mod thingy.

I don’t mind travelers though. When I was young there was a halting site across the road from my house. We went to school together.

I was actually suggesting that your back garden looks a bit like a travellers front garden, as a joke. That's what John Connors meant when he said he had a swimming pool in his gaf.

No unnecessary water usage, so no.

Entire thread is a thinly veiled "look at me: I'm wasting water before the ban comes in" hard man shtick.
