If you use a fire hose or a pipe sized as a fire hose and water supply that can fill at a fast rate then the Olympic sized swimming pool could easily be filled with water within 28 to 30 hours.

But if you used a garden hose to fill the Olympic sized swimming pool it would likely take from 4 days to 10 days depending on the gallons per minute that the garden hose is supplying.

Usually Olympic Swimming pools have an adequate water supply at a fast enough gallon per minute to fill the Olympic size swimming pool within 24 to 30 hours.

When an Olympic Swimming pool needs filled up from empty they'll either truck water in or have a large hose from a water supply that is as large as a fire hose to fill the Olympic Swimming Pool quickly.

They don't use a garden hose as that would take too long.

But usually the Olympic Sized swimming pool can be fully filled up within 2 days at most.

Hello to all. Traditional bathtubs can be dangerous for people with limited mobility because you often have to step over a high threshold to get in and out of the bathtub. This can result in slips and falls and serious injury. However, the Safe Step Tub eliminates this risk because it has a low inlet. Users can simply step into the tub, which minimizes the chance of accidents, and if you read Safe Step Tub reviews you will understand that this is what makes these tubs very valuable to many people.
