I can top-off our pool via zone 6 of our sprinkler system, which is dedicated to just pump water into the pool.
Just go into garage and manually select zone 6 to run as long as needed, afterwards, sprinkler timer then shuts off.
How is water replenished into your pool during the summer months?....garden hose?

There are some faucet you can take strainer off and hook hose to. Not sure I want to leave door open to run hose to pool. House heater is struggling enough with door closed.

What about shoveling snow in the pool? That’s what my plan is in case level gets to close. It’ll bring up the level pretty quick.

Same way in the summer, but I have the sprinkler lines shut off and drained. Don't you?

The hose would freeze quickly as soon as it is outside anyway

Hook up a hose to the faucet for your washing machine. Crack a window to run the hose through and roll up a towel to cover up the open part of the window.

If your pool hasn't frozen solid yet, fill some bottles with a salt water mixture and float them, put small ones in the skimmers as well. The lower freeze point of the salt water keeps the water around the bottles liquid. The bouncing around helps to keep the ice broken up as well

My water level was good and my pumps were running, but the exposed pipes froze and busted. We’re on a hill and have some brutal wind, so I’m assuming that was the culprit. I killed the power and removed all the drain plugs. I’ll just have to wait till Saturday when things start to defrost to assess the damage.

Mac Town... I wonder how that's possible with water moving that fast inside those pumps. Did your power go out at any point?
