The hose could be used 24 hours a day, but i am thinking of months, rather than weeks. You need to work out the capacity of the pool, then the rate water would flow per day/week, i guess. Rather a silly question, because i know this scenario is unlikely to develop.

The average Olympic Pool these days is 25yd by 50m, and about 2m deep. (They modified it to 25yds so you can run short-course across the pool, and long-course the length of the pool.) If you have a diving well, that changes it. But assuming standard size: At 35 cu.ft per cu.m, and 7.48 gallons per cu.ft., that's about 654,000 gallons.
You have 654,000 gallons - give or take.
At 2 gallons per minute, that'll be 5400 hours, or 90 days.
At 5 galllons per minute, that'll be 2200 hours, or 36 days.
The water bill on that will be about $4,200 depending on your jurisdiction. And without a prior permit from the locality, you might face fines. So make sure you do your homework.

The dimensions of an Olympic pool are required to be 25 meters by 50 meters, with a minimum depth of 2 meters. It works out to be
660,253.09 gallons of water, at the minimum.
A garden hose does about 1-2 gallons per minute so at 1.5 gallons a minute it would take a little over 305 days, that's a lot of water. Don't forget to add chlorine!

I think on average a hose runs 2.0 or so gallons per minute. Multiply that by the size of your pool and that will be a close answer.

my 3/4 hose puts out 4.5 gpm ( gals per min) to find out yours, take a 5 gal bucket and turn ur hose on and time it for 30 secs...times that by 2 ( gives u 1 min) and see how full ur bucket is...if 1/2 full then ur getting 2.5 gals per min.....if full then 5 gals per min......take the gals need to fill pool, use the math in other answer, and divided.......ur gals per min into the amount of gals to fill pool!

You need to know ur water pressure. Time how long it takes to fill a 10ltr bucket. Then u need to know the pool capacity. Then divide the pool capacity by 10 and multiply by water pressure(mins).
