When I can understand what you are saying, you crack me up Villas!
For the OP, some have mains water, some have agricultural water and some have both. If you have access to agricultural water you should already be aware of this and it's by far the cheapest way to fill your pool otherwise, as RayD says, it's tap water. 

Bear in mind that if you use irrigation water then you may have to spend quite a bit of time, and money for the chemicals needed, to get the water properly balanced.

Last time I looked at the cost of tankered potable water, I decided that tap water was quite a bit cheaper.

Almost two decades away. I filled my pool. I only have tap water. It is irrigation water. I have never emptied it apart from top up for discharge & evaporation. At a 2 monthly cost of tap water around 20€. in addition I also have a deposit (rain-fall).

My neighbours have treated tap water, but town water. It was considerable more cost. But again (he thought of a tanker at first) balanced cost against a tanker-delivered for irrigation water was not much different. Therefore he filled with treated town water.

I am not sure (& have never heard of potable water tank been brought in for filling a pool. I can´t see it will be cheaper than treated home tap water. I may be wrong.

An acquaintance used delivered “sea” water (salt pool).

Apart from that, regarding a pool whichever method of filling. It is wet. Pure or not, Accumulates sand & debris from the air.

Jim has some good pointers & tips on keeping the water balanced. Whichever method one chooses(salt water aside). The chemicals will be needed, I have seen no difference in a pool other than treated potable water or irrigation tap water.
