Q: How long does it take to fill a 15,000-gallon pool?

• <div><p>It can take 24 to 48 hours to fill a 15,000-gallon pool with a garden hose. A hose will pump out anywhere from 4 to 12 gallons per minute, with the average hose resting somewhere between 8 to 9 gallons per minute. If you want to speed up the process, a water delivery service can fill your pool in a few hours or less.</p></div>

Q: Are pool lights safe?

Q: What are ways to make your pool accessible to people with disabilities?

• <div><p>You can make your pool accessible to people with disabilities or mobility issues by adding a sloped entrance to the pool and including handrails at all entry and exit points.

Here are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/universal-design-aids-baby-boomers-aging-place.htm">tips to make your home more accessible</a> for those with disabilities or those aging in place.</p></div>

Q: Does a pool need a dedicated circuit?

• <div><p>Whether or not a pool needs a dedicated circuit depends on the electrical needs of the motor, lights, and pump. Keep in mind that pool motors can use a lot of electricity. A dedicated circuit can prevent the breaker from tripping whenever you use the pool. A small motor for an equally small pool may only need a GFCI outlet. It&rsquo;s best to plug it directly into the outlet rather than using an extension cord. You should also consult an electrician to ensure your pool&rsquo;s electrical system is in accordance with local regulations. </p></div>

Q: What happens to a pool pump if it isn’t primed?

• <div><p>A swimming pool pump has to have water in it to run properly. If the pump isn&rsquo;t primed and tries to run when it&rsquo;s dry, the components will overheat which can cause the pump to seize up and can even damage the PVC pipes that carry the water into and out of it. Essentially, running a pump that isn&rsquo;t primed can lead to having to replace the entire pump.</p></div>
