Reply With QuoteIf you can turn on enough hoses to fill the pool so that the pump runs continuously, it won't hurt the pump a bit. It you let it cycle off and on, you are destroying the pump.

Pump Usage
I am having a 20 X 40 swimming pool put in and will need to fill it myself. The question I have is: Will filling the pool using my 1 1/2 hp submersible pump, hurt the pump? The pool has approximately 34,500 gal of water. Also, should I let the pump run continuously or let it cycle?
