Connecting Pool Fill Line to Sprinkler System

[y0manda]

heh he's going to hook up a seperate sprinkler valve to fill your pool?
Mine and most of the people that had it installed was a seperate unit that has a float that releases the water once the float drops a little, kinda like the float in the back of your toilet tank.

never thought of that.. I could have used it instead of the sprinkler valve (or in conjunction.. to avoid a run-away fill).

I had the unit y0manda referenced when our pool was installed. Talked to the installation crew, they installed it in the pool wall (vinyl) for nothing. I then plumbed it the house water supply before backfill. We also ran the overflow line from it. Works very well. I turn it off a couple of times just to make sure I'm not losing any water (leaks). Paranoid!
