3/29/23: The water main valve to the home does not have a handle so there’s no way to turn the water off. Off is the position I prefer. Since we can’t turn it off I walked the house twice to make sure all faucets, valves and toilets were not running. The spigot poolside with the water timer on it, each time I come is on and the connection is leaking water which is costing money. A simple $.30 washer. I think would resolve the issue. I’m sure the pool company must have one. If I remember I’ll bring one from my home. I shut this valve off before I leave each time.
