]]> Comment on Can I use a Fire Hydrant to refill my swimming pool?! by RPS-admin http://blog.reliablepoolsolutions.com/pool-maintenance/can-i-use-a-fire-hydrant-to-refill-my-swimming-pool/comment-page-1/#comment-1362 RPS-admin Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:21:45 +0000 http://blog.reliablepoolsolutions.com/?p=815#comment-1362 Actually in most cities the water that comes directly out of your tap, is the same that water supplied to the fire hydrants. It is all supplied directly through the domestic system throughout the city. However the sprinkler irrigation systems used to supply the cities landscape can come from reclaimed (dirty) water which is usually indicated with the use of purple piping. Just thought you should know - haha! Never-the-less it still isn't a great idea to use the fire hydrants for drinking because the water inside the hydrants are stagnant and typically will have rust particles trapped inside. Hope this helps! Actually in most cities the water that comes directly out of your tap, is the same that water supplied to the fire hydrants.

My tap water has chlorine in it to kill any bacteria and it has fluorine to keep my family's dental bills low by protecting our teeth from tooth decay. Does fire hydrant water have the same additives, or is it straight from the river or lake? I often wonder if the water in the fire hydrant is the same as that which comes through my tap.

The "brushing your teeth" analogy is exactly right! Brush off the dirt and let your filter do its job. And don't forget to clean your cartridge filter every 4-6 months.
