    You can connect a water hose to the COLD WATER side of your washing machine hookup, and fill the pool that way. If you reconnect your WM hose with this:
    Gilmour Brass 2-Way Connector
    then you'll be able to easily refill your pool later.

    You can get a WYE like that at Lowes, but try to get a better brand. They all will be Chinese made, but a US brand like Gilmour will try to enforce quality control, and you do NOT want a junk valve leaking water inside your house. Do NOT get a plastic valve; ONLY brass.

    Hooking hose up to the WM connection is the perfect solution. Draining it now, refilling tomorrow! Thank you for the help Pool Forum Pro's!
    10' x 30" Intex.
