How long does it take to fill the pool?

With a standard garden hose on full force it takes about 10-15 min to fill.

Depends on how fast your tap releases water, but you can get a good amount in 20 minutes. If you want to fill it to the brim, though, then its about 25

My husband has used 5 gallon buckets to fill the pool with warm water from the tub spout and it takes him about 20-30 minutes. We are getting ready to do this anyday now again.

If I recall correctly, using a hose from the bathroom sink faucet, it took about a half an hour to fill the pool. I wasn't the one with control of the water, though, so I can't say for certain how hard the flow was or if it was on all the way. (I was in the pool about to have a baby, so this is going by number of contractions and a guesstimate based on that.)

Maybe 2-3 minutes. It does not take long at all. Of course, the more water in it in longer it takes. I think when it is at the max level it wold take 3 minutes.

It takes about 15 minutes but you must realize you will have at least 2-3 inches of water in your tarp because the pump will suck air and water until at the end. The pump does best when it is submerged in the water.

I've never timed it but it does take awhile. I fill the top at night and have water in the morning.

I have filled and emptied my pool many times. The design is such, that when filling, the sides bow in until the pool is full.

Depends how much you fill it, the design of the pool is meant to only be filled around 80%. At that level it's around 2800 gallons.

It takes roughly 3-5 mins after filling it up to build enough pressure. It's not quite continuous, you will eventually use up the built up steam and will need to wait a minute or two to allow up to build back up. This unit wasnt meant to be a continuous steamer, more of a spot cleaner.

This obviously depends on the diameter of the siphon hose.... I have a 5/8" internal diameter hose and often siphon gas from a 5 gal can into my boat. I estimate it takes about 4 minutes.

Most of your time will be spent getting it level and checking it while it fills. I seem to recall within a couple hours maximum of putting it up and starting the hose at full blast, my kids were swimming in it each time. Sorry I couldn't be more exact.

Yes but keep in mind this pool does take a lot of water. It took a few hours or more to fill it and after a couple days in the warm summer the water will turn green without chlorine and bromine. The pump might not be totally necessary if you are planning to empty it each spurt of use but it is good for debris, dirt, etc that gets into the pool. If you get a pump and have the chlorine/bromine, you can keep it going all summer and use it when you wish but you do have to regularly treat it. You will not want to refill it every day or two... takes too long/too much water. We just keep ours up all summer from June-Aug. I chlorinate it every other day to every 3 days and I believe the bromine is once a week but follow pkg directions.

It is very simple , will take you no more than 10 minutes and some additional time ad justing the sensibility of the equipment depending of the type of swiming pool you have .

I only have my grandkids on occassional weekends, so fill if weather permits swimming, and pull the plugs (2) for draining after the weekend is over. The water flowed out well as my patio has a slight decline toward the slide end, then I used a soft broom to sweep the remaining water (and sand from the sandbox) over the edge, let dry, further dried with a towel, dried and folding it up and put it in a bin. I had it up for a total of 2 1/2 days before emptying. I sure wouldn't use chemicals in any case; they're chemicals! and not sure how the pool would hold up to them besides. I'm fairly sure you could leave it filled for a week or so, maybe more if the kids are in it everyday to avoid stagnant water.

Quite while. I fill it and then walk away, so it takes 2 or 3 hours at least. If I go back to the kitchen I often top it up, it seems to work faster if it is full or near full and using the entire filter.

We have never had 3' to 4' of water. We usually have less than a foot of water when we pump. A foot of water takes about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. I hope that helps.

run mine 5hours at a time 2xs a day. I have a 20x40 in-ground pool with 2 skimmers and 4 returns, so it took some time adjusting these elements until I got it right.

I would say yes as our pool is over four feet deep with another five or six inches of tile at the top edge. My experience was it pumped a very good stream of water from the bottom of the pool. The pool is approx. 10,000 gal. and it took around 27 hrs. to pump it completely dry. Hope this helps.

It depends on how long you use it for. If you are doing it for a straight period of time you probably need to fill it every few hours or so.
