How to Fix the Auto Fill on a Swimming Pool
- Locate the automatic water filler to determine which valve style is required.
- Turn off the water at the water source.
- Remove the defective auto-fill valve/float assembly.
- Turn the water supply on for a minute to flush the supply line of debris.
Just so, what is auto fill on a pool?
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.
Beside above, how does a pool fill valve work?
It works using the same basic mechanism as a toilet filler. When the water level drops too low, the float drops low enough to open the water valve to refill the pool. When the pool has enough water the float rises and shuts off the flow of water. These mechanisms can deteriorate with age and not function correctly.
The float valve in the bottom is designed to shut off the skimmer and keep it from sucking air into the pump if the water level in the pool gets too low. On some systems where the skimmer and drain are both plumbed into the skimmer, the float valve serves to regulate the flow of water from the skimmer and the drain.
