How to fill hose
Anyone any advice about how to fill pool vac hose most quickly with water before turning pump on for cleaning? I procrastinate cos it's such a hassle, and at this time of year that could be weeks since no-one's using it & the cover means we don't see the bottom! of the pool

Re: How to fill hose
There must be either some detail you think is so obvious that you're not saying, or something I'm doing wrong
(ps re where to post: what is the criteria for main forum as opposed to siesta time? I wondered & thought this was something many homeowners might relate to so believed the main forum was right... however obviously I don't mind where it appears as long as I get something approaching an answer that works)

Re: How to fill hose
You make it sound so simple....I've been doing this over 2 years & not once without mega-stress. Feeding the hose vertically down? Without it preferring the option of staying at the top or coiling away towards the other end of the pool? Or pouring what little water's made it inside the hose straight down my right armpit?

put the brush in the pool, lean handle on side of pool,
at the end of hose closest to the brush push and hold it under the water,
feed the hose through your hands keeping just a small length of it under the water till you reach the other end,
when you get to the end you will see air bubbles then water run out, keep the end under the water and put in vacuuming thingy.
