I was told a while back that we could not build a new pool with auto-fill due to some TX code (a water source?). Is there anything you know of that would prevent me from getting auto-fill in TX ? Am I missing something? :?
I think that if it were against the building code, then they would say so.When topping off, use a hose timer to avoid overfilling. Add a few inches as needed on your scheduled watering day to maintain constant water levels. Auto-fill devices can malfunction and add water unnecessarily. Using a hose makes it easier to tell if a leak develops or the pool level changes dramatically. Austin Water Utility is owned and operated by the City of Austin, Texas.

I think that this is the most likely rule that the person was quoting, and possibly misinterpreting. If they say that an auto-fill is not permitted, then ask them to provide a reference.Use of Irrigation Systems for Pools and Fountains Fill
