Best Way to ADD water?

Not sure where to put this since I'm not new around here but ... .

The question of the day:

What's the best way to ADD new water. I have an small SPLASHER type ABOVE GROUND pool so usually I just stick the hose in it - set a timer and pray I remember that when the timer goes off what the bell means! Was that for the oven? The washing machine? OH the POOL water!

So today I was adding water but it's a kinda nice day and I felt that standing by the edge and holding the hose and adding water was a relaxing zen type activitiy for me this morning. I'm sure some of you totally understand that 'moment.'

BUT - as I was adding water - I had the pressure nozzle I use for cleaning the filter still on the hose - and found I was making quite a lot of BUBBLES as the hose water shot into the pool water. Now, is this a good thing or bad. I figured I'm adding OXYGEN but does that FEED the Algae? Does it help in anyway or hurt my efforts? It is quite fun and calming but I would give that up if it's going to cause more problems down the line.

What do you think?

Just gonna raise the PH is all.

Bubbles are fine. They might raise the PH just a little, not a big deal.

Buy a cheap faucet sprinkler timer so that it goes off on it's own just in case you forget!!

If the fill water has high TA, you're actually getting a jump start on balancing it by aerating as you fill!
