That time we filled a swimming pool with 110,000 Litre in Cambridge.

Last week we had one of those jobs that reminds you why this gig is never boring…

Here in the Waikato, we get all kinds of water delivery jobs – tanks, troughs, building sites, the odd emergency top up after a dry summer. But every now and then someone rings up and says, “Mate, I’ve just had the pool repainted… Can you fill it?” And when they tell you the size, you know it’s going to be a decent day out.

110,000 litres. That’s a serious pool.

We gave him a straightforward quote over the phone, he was happy with the price after calling a few of the competitors and we locked in the next morning for the fill.

Saturday 7 am we rolled up to a lovely lifestyle block just out of town. The access couldn’t have been better – flat lawn right beside the pool and only a low fence in the way. We backed the truck straight across the grass (it’ll bounce back in no time), flipped the hose over the fence, dropped the end gently into the deep end so we didn’t mark the new paint, and got to work.

Our tanker carries 10,000 litres per load, so we knew straight away this was going to be a 11 trip day. Back and forth to the hydrant point, steady as she goes. The owner popped out halfway through with coffees and a bit of his wife’s homemade slice absolute legend, and much appreciated around load number seven.

By early afternoon the water was climbing those smooth kidney curves and the new paint was starting to glow. The final load went in just after 4:30 pm. We gave it a gentle stir, checked the level was spot-on, and stood back for the money shot. 110,000 litres of clean, fresh drinking water sitting perfectly in one of the best-looking pools we’ve filled all year.

Jobs like this are what it’s all about. A bit of hard yakka, a happy customer and the knowledge that the pool is now ready for a whole summer of fun.

If you’re in the Waikato or Bay of Plenty and you’ve got a big pool (or tank) that needs filling before the real heat hits, give us a call. We’ve got the trucks, the hoses and the crew that’ll get it done properly.

Summer’s coming – let’s get your water sorted.
Cheers,
