I use a hose as well, but I have run a hose spigot over near the deep end of the pool. It's on some fencing just beyond the pool decking. Convenient yet out of the way. The spigot is just an extension from another spigot on the side of the house. It runs just under some wooden decking and comes out where I need it. It's also a convenient location to use for pressure washing the deck and other various things.
