not if you want to drink it.

Why? Unhealthy and it would take you weeks to do it. A well isn't just an empty hole in the ground.

That and the well will remain contaminated.

Most pools are either emptyed into the storm gutter or onto the ground,
First I don't even know how you could put water back into a well, as noted it is not a large hole, unless you are very rural and have a open pit of some sort, but even then it would not hold that much water

Would you drain your bath water back into your well? I think not. Pretty sure at least one person has relieved themselves while in the pool. You don't want that in your supply water do you? Actually, you should drain your pool as far away from your well as you can.

Besides everything that has rather accurately been stated above, what benefit would you gain from it? You won't save a dime by doing it, and it would just be a lot of trouble to add a bunch of water into the ground where there is already... a bunch of water!
