I came across this: Add water to the pool automatically and since it was an old thread I started a new one.
I did something similar to this post but added a simple way to make it automatic. If you estimate or actually measure the rate of water evaporation (measure inches of water level lost in a week, say), and know the rate at which your fill water flows, then you can set fill water to run for a specific time every week (or 5 days, or whatever). That way the level will remain essentially the same for extended periods. Some adjustments will need to be made in different seasons when the rate of evaporation changes. I used an Orbit timer with wifi and app to automatically add the water for fixed periods. PM me if you want more info.. Edit by Jim R.
