problems with autofill

My PB kind of abandoned me at the last stage of construction and never hooked up my poolmiser autofill. It didn't look too difficult so I went ahead and hooked it up myself via the hose bib on the house and underground PVC. I have 2 other "satellite" hose bibs on that same line (not to be used simultaneously of course) and a vacuum breaker. I got it all hooked up and it seems to work ok, but anytime someone jumps into the pool the valve opens and closes over and over until the water settles back down. It wouldn't matter too much to me, but the vacuum breaker "spits" a little every time there's a sudden jolt of pressure change. Has anyone else ever had this issue or am I just doing something wrong.
