Hi,
Just had a below ground fibreglass pool installed (Australia) and will be getting concrete surrounding installed in a couple of weeks.
I've just read about auto-fill options which I didnt know about until now. I have a spare station available on my irrigation controller which I can hook a solenoid to fill the pool when required by my wifi controller.
Considering I dont have a dedicated fitting in the pool to plumb into, what would be the best way of allowing the irrigation to fill the pool? I can run the pipes in the next week or so, was considering drilling 25mm (1") line to the upper part of the skimmer box (under the lid), but not sure if that is the best place for it.
Alternatively I can just hide a fitting on the edge of my deck under a flap (1.7m from pool) that I can connect a hose to and connect up when I need to fill. This is probably not as clean solution, but doesn't need irreversable plumbing into pool which may be problematic down the track.
Looking forward to opinions!
