Swimming Pool Auto-Fills or Automatic Water Levelers



Swimming Pool Auto-Fills or Automatic Water Levelers

The Pool Auto-Fill is an automatic pool water leveler, designed to maintain the optimum water level in pools, spas and fountains. They are more commonly used in our valley, and in other dry and arid regions that have to add frequent make-up water.

Pools lose water due to two things:  Evaporation and Leaks

The reason for a pool auto-fill is to maintain a safe level of water in the pool.  If the water goes down below the skimmer, your equipment could run dry and burn out.  That is a VERY serious matter.  In the old days, a hose had to be strung to the pool on a slow drip to maintain the water level.  The Automatic Auto-Fill is a HUGE improvement!  You can safely be away from home for the day or for the season and not worry about your equipment…….as long as the auto-fill is working properly.

Maintaining your Pool Auto-Fill:

There is not a lot to do to keep your pool autofill operating correctly - the main thing is to just check on it once in a while - to be sure that it is still operating, correctly.  We recommend checking the operation of the water-fill once a month.  That means shutting it down and checking it over.  Does the valve work properly, is there a crack in the bucket, is there any leak in the auto-fill or excessive water loss in the pool when it is shut down?  Shutting it down for a day to check all of this is a small price to pay to confirm that all is well, especially in the hot summer months when the water level in your pool is especially critical.

Pool and Spa Main Drain Repairs

While it is often referred to as a main drain, the main drain in your pool or spa doesn't actually let you empty your pool or spa. Instead, this 'drain' allows for water to be pumped out of the pool and through the plumbing system. Water that exits through the main drain is often sent through a filtration system that is controlled by your pool or spa pump and returned via your pool or spa jets or inlets. If something should go wrong with your pool or spa main drain such as a clog or cracked pipe, this can lead to some major inefficiencies with the rest of your pool's equipment. Since the main drain is usually located at the lowest point of a pool or spa, it may not often get as much notice when something goes wrong. To help you determine when it's time to call for pool and spa main drain repairs, take a look at some examples of common issues listed below. Increased Suction Sometimes a main drain will remove water at an accelerated rate because another one

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do?

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do? This truly is a very extreme picture of damage tree roots can do to your pool, your deck, and your plumbing! Most of the time, the damage is much more subtle.   You might have a higher water bill (roots cause leaks).   You might notice that your salt cell can’t keep up with the chemistry (leaks caused by roots have the effect of taking the chemicals with the water running out)   We have had tree roots undermine and break up concrete pool decks, we’ve also seen roots come right through the pool walls, skimmers, tile, coping, and actually grow down the plumbing lines. I swear that some tree roots can "smell" the water in the pool, and make a beeline for it, stretching it's branches out until it pokes a hole, and busts up the floor or walls of your pool.   Usually you will notice something is “strange” long before it becomes this severe.   The first warning you may have is that your pool starts lea

A great looking swimming pool is always a positive feature on any property. Like a fresh cut lawn or a newly painted house, a pristine swimming pool is an eye-catching feature that will improve the overall appearance of any yard. Over time however, certain parts of your pool's appearance may start to decline. Waterline tiles are often prone to some type of deterioration over time. In many cases, proper pool care and regular cleaning can help maintain your pool surfaces, but eventually you may need to replace your waterline tiles entirely. To help you determine when its time to replace or simply clean and/or repair the waterline tiles in your pool, take a look at the helpful tips written below.
