Filling a pool around Louisville
Pool season runs from about late May to September.
Worth knowing locally
- Outlying homes in Kentucky and southern Indiana are often on wells, and some rural properties still rely on cisterns.
- If a cistern supplies household water, tell us so we line up a hauler that delivers potable water.
General guidance only. Local rules change; your water utility has the final word.
What we fill in the Louisville area
- In-ground pool fill: First fills for new pools and full refills, usually in a single visit.
- Above-ground pool fill: Often a single tanker load. Set up the pool, we line up the water.
- Hot tub and spa fill: For well homes, new installs and homes with no outdoor tap.
- Refill after drain or replaster: Fast, continuous refills timed with your plaster or acid-wash crew.
- Well-water homes: Spare your pump and well; avoid iron and sediment in a new pool.
- Cistern and tank fill: Homes, cabins, farms and job sites. Potable haulers when you need them.

How it works
- Send your ZIP, size and access details (two minutes).
- We line up a vetted local hauler and confirm loads, hose reach and the date.

Before you book, measure the hose route from where a truck can park to the pool. Tanker hoses typically reach a few hundred feet. Not sure of your gallons? Use the pool gallons calculator.
