I had my plumber install one for me.
Have them run it where your pool equiptment is and then back to where you want the filler to be. That way you are able to turn it off when you need. i.e. checking for leaks. My pool sometimes looses 1/3" a day from evaperation and splashing. It would be about 3-5 and the water would be below the skimmer and (if I didnt have a 15minute flow monitor on my pump) It could ruin your pump. It's another feature that goes hand in hand with a SWCG - low pool maintance.
another low maintance feature would have to be the overflow drain.

the white flattened thing that sits flush on the bond beam (left of the sponge) just hook it upto your drains, the plumber left this for me when he finished and I just cut a into my bond beam and used polyurethane to adhear it. Great when it rains and don't want your pool water overflowing.
