No your pool is considered a closed system all the water that you add goes only to the filtering system and back. If you put in too much water you will overflow the edges and make your skimmer less efficient. unless you have a floating pool skimmer then the pool will be able to change level without affecting the efficiency of the skimmer.

What happens to swimming pools if they have to much water?
Too much water in your pool means the skimmers won't work properly. There's not enough suction to skim the debris from the top of the pool. Too little water and your skimmers will be sucking air and that will go into you system causing it to not work properly. Keep your water level about 2-3" from the bottom of the skimmer, or 1/4-1/2 the way up from the bottom.

yes, it is perfectly ok to put tabs in skimmer basket. +++ NO: it is NOT OK - unless the manufacturers of the particular skimmers, pumps and filters on your pool advise it is permissible. Buy either a proper in-line tablet feeder (it goes in the return pipe downstream from the filter) or floating basket-type tablet dispensers. The skimmers are NOT chemical dispensers.
What is the pool?
The pool skimmer is the part of the system that the water overflows into for the pump to pump it thru the filter and other accessories.

In-ground pools can have the skimmer placed anywhere along the perimeter with a basket or screen accessible for cleaning.
