It was just an idea. I guess it all depends on where your WM is. I know my wife wouldn't want a hose dragged through the house every time I filled the pool ;-)
That's a great idea, I hadn't thought about that. Our washing machine is just inside the door from the garage so I could run the hose out though the garage to the pool without having the Mrs. getting too cranky.

Thanks for the suggestion.
