Sure. The better question is, should you? Without approval from the city and help from the fire department, filling your pool with water from the fire hydrant is illegal and risky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The only way to get around this is to contact your local municipalities for approval. You will need to contact the city council, the department of water, and the local fire department.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, keep in mind that the chances of approval are relatively slim in most cases, as fire hydrants are reserved for combating fires. On the off chance you are approved to use the fire hydrant for your pool, you will likely need to pay a fee to use the fire hydrant plus the cost of the water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance: if you\u2019re charged $50 to use the fire hydrant and need 15,000 gallons of water at $8 per gallon, you will pay $185 (which is a relatively low cost, especially considering the fire hydrant will fill a 15,000-gallon pool in around ten minutes!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wondered if you can paint a fire hydrant? I wrote an entire article on <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/can-you-legally-paint-a-fire-hydrant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">whether you can legally paint a fire hydrant<\/a>. Click the link to check it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_the_Local_Fire_Department_Fill_My_Pool\"><\/span>Will the Local Fire Department Fill My Pool?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you can apply to have your pool filled, generally the fire department will not fill your pool. However, I have heard of some cities that will allow it. Call and check with your local department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not only does using the fire hydrant water for personal use create potential liability, but it also means that the water is being used for something other than saving homes and lives &#8211; which is frowned upon by firefighters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_You_Should_Not_use_the_Water_from_the_Fire_Hydrant\"><\/span>Reasons You Should Not use the Water from the Fire Hydrant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your application to use the fire hydrant to fill your pool is not approved, you should not cut corners and try to use it anyways. Using the fire hydrant can be detrimental in many ways, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Injury from the Water Pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire hydrants have an impressive water pressure of 20 pounds per square inch (PSI), or 1.4 bar. This is great for fighting fires; but not great for inexperienced residents trying to use it for personal reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water in the fire hydrant will come out at an unbelievable pressure that can easily knock you down or send you flying. The result? Potential injury and damage to the connected equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Destruction from Improper Closing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Closing a fire hydrant is a trained skill. You will not be able to close it correctly if you do not have the proper training and experience. Improper sealing can dislodge the fire hydrant or cause pipes to burst, which can cause incredible destruction and hazard to the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Theft Charge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, using a fire hydrant without permission is illegal. If you\u2019re caught using the fire hydrant to fill your pool &#8211; or any other reason, for that matter &#8211; you can be charged with \u201cwater theft.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theft can come with a sizable fine. For instance, in the state of California, <a href=\"https:\/\/casetext.com\/statute\/california-codes\/california-government-code\/title-5-local-agencies\/division-2-cities-counties-and-other-agencies\/part-1-powers-and-duties-common-to-cities-counties-and-other-agencies\/chapter-1-general\/article-4-miscellaneous\/section-5306945-effective-until-112023-water-theft-enhanced-penalties#:~:text=(c)%20All%20other%20forms%20of,same%20ordinance%20within%20one%20year.\">water theft<\/a> comes with a fine up to but not exceeding $1,000. You may also end up with jail time and have \u201ctheft\u201d listed on your criminal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Best_to_Avoid_Using_the_Fire_Hydrant_to_Fill_Your_Pool\"><\/span>It\u2019s Best to Avoid Using the Fire Hydrant to Fill Your Pool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can technically use fire hydrant water for filling your pool with an accepted application and help from your local fire department, although this is unlikely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>f your application is not approved, do not try to use the fire hydrant anyway. This can result in injury, destruction, potential fines, jail time, and \u201ctheft\u201d listed on your criminal history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plenty of people ask this common question: \u201cCan I use a fire hydrant to fill my pool?\u201d &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Can You Fill Your Pool With A Fire Hydrant?
