Where did you mount your sensor? Still works perfectly. The sensor device itself is wireless but there is a wire from the device to detect the water. The valve controller is also wireless but I use 12vdc power as I have an outlet right there.

Actually both, it has battery backup as well as the 12vdc from the wall. The 12v controller was an extra $50. I emailed Eric and confirmed they do still have a few or make them on demand. Eric asked you email him directly: [email protected]

YoLink Smart Wireless Water Valve Controller supports both Batteries and External 12VDC - HUB REQUIRED × 1

They do a powered version of the valve controller too. I use that.

- No it hasn't triggered the sensor. It isn't immediately dry when a wave washes away. The "alarm" can be set any time of the day i.e. fill at night if you need. - You can also set it to turn off after xx minutes automatically regardless of the level state. - You can set the the "alarm" to be...

Couldn't agree more! I added a temperature probe too (Yolink), but again, its just mounted discretely. How did you add yours to the pool?

As its a tiny probe, its mounted in an inconspicuous area of my pool, with the probe at the (desired) water line. YoLink also has a water detection line that detects anywhere along its length. I considered adding that somewhere more discrete but the probe was just simpler. When I redo the...

I'm sharing this in case its helpful to anyone else. I already had a 1/2 inch line to a valve on the side of my house to fill the pool but I suspect this could be added to a hose bib too, if necessary. I recently remodeled part of my home and extended the kitchen. I had to move the hose bib and...

I picked up some Krylon. Having never used a spray can before it turned out better than I expected. Thank you all for your guidance!

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback. Regarding painting, is there a recommendation of paint (brand)? Can I also paint the pump and valves?

I replaced an old pump with a used a pump I was given and it provided me the opportunity to replace some old Jandys that were cracked and sucking in air. This is my first attempt. I recognize that is is sloppy and there are MANY mistakes and some untidy work. However, it functions and I can...
