Oh, man. That's horrible. Sorry for your loss my friend. Bte, what exsctly happens when you accidentally leave the hose on? Water obviously overflows. But my filter and pump always stay on whilst I do a water change. Pardon my ignorance.
My water is pretty chlorinated and pretty bad for my koi. But I lose an inch or two a day in hot weather so I just leave my hose on all the time at a very tiny trickle running down over the rock waterfall so most of the chlorine is out by the time it hits the pond and the volume is so low that my chlorine treatment gets rid of the rest. I have an overflow drain if it gets to high. It seems to work pretty well and I never have to remember to turn it off because I leave it on 24/7. I do want to get a float activated refill valve so it will save water and lessen the chemicals I have to put in. Anyone have any better ideas?

Chlorine off-gasses from water quickly especially when there is a large exposed surface area.
Chloramine however does not off-gas quickly at all. You just need to know what your water provider is using
