Similarly one may ask, is well water OK for swimming pools?

If it has a high flow rate, the well can most likely fill a pool, but with a low flow rate, it may run dry. You should also consider whether you’re sharing the water table with neighbors and whether you’re currently in a drought.

Also question is, what chemical do you put in pool first? Chemicals Needed for Pool Start Ups

  1. Stain & Scale Preventer.
  2. Granular Shock Chlorine.
  3. Chlorine Tablets.
  4. pH Increaser and/or pH Decreaser.
  5. Alkalinity and/or Calcium Increaser.
  6. Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer)
  7. Algaecide and Clarifiers if needed.
  8. Complete Test Kit or Test Strips.

Moreover, how long will a well last?

The average lifespan for a well is 30–50 years. 2. How deep is the well? Drilled wells typically go down 100 feet or more.

Can you fill a well with water?

Adding water to your well is not recommended. It could contaminate your supply, and will not alleviate your water shortage problems during drought conditions.

How fast does well water replenish?

Some shallow wells that are in a sand and gravel geological formation will recharge within 24 hours. Some that recharge by a nearby stream or river will also recharge quickly. However, some deep wells with a small and semi-impervious recharge area may take many months or years to fully recharge.
