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.
