We have a spigot at our water supply by our house that connects underground to the typical auto fill valve by the pool in a plastic cannister. After noticing an increasing amount of water spilling out into the street from the pipe our builders installed, we found the sump pump was filling when...

I read water should be 50-75% up the skimmer box. The skimmer our pool company built is like this.. (sorry for the bad quality. It's the only image I have before pool was filled). The entire opening is 5 tiles high. The skimmer box sits 3 tiles high from the bottom of the opening. If I were to...
