An auto fill is a matter of convenience. I keep mine turned off. If you leave your autofill on and have a leak in your pool or related plumbing you won't know it until you get your water bill. By leaving the auto fill off I can monitor the pool level for any problems.
Thanks for the info, we are still on the fence of pool install at build. This is our 4th home, but first pool in TV. We lived colder climates, so pool use was 3 months at best.
However thinking we want to live in house for awhile before we decide. Neighborhood pool is half block away, and family pool is around the corner. While I know T& D is the go to. Will evaluate their design to after market.
