Probably a dumb question but I recently got a dolphin e70 and I no longer need my Polaris 360 in the water. I removed it but do I now just keep the cleaner function within easy touch off? do I need to plug the in wall connection that was used for the 360 hose? Or do I need to keep running...

How has the E70 been working?

Great, thank you, I will see if I can find the brand etc. we might be having some of our pool remodeled and I am considering having the concrete around the current autofill redone, so I am looking at replacing it. I was looking at the Jandy Levolor or the Pentair Intellilevel.

What do you recommend instead of this design?

@Toxophilite disregard my question on the equalizer, I’m still waking up. I will give that a try and see if the well floods. Thx for the help.

@Toxophilite that is correct, how do I plug the equalizer (is the equalizer the port that is in the pool?) ?

I got the Home Depot fluidmaster installed with the new washer/debris screen. I don’t feel any leaks? Could it have been the washer not being there? Do any of you know an easy way I can check for a leak in the autofill well?

I finally got everything. The pentair fluidmaster valve looks exactly like what I had previously gotten at Home Depot. Both are a fluidmaster model 400. Unless I am missing something, I think they are the same. The price however is not, $38 for the pentair version, $8 for the HD version. I think...

@proavia thank you, I have a letro autofill: Letro Products Automatic Filler Parts - INYOPools.com I didn’t see a washer but I did notice a debris screen which wasn’t on the fluidmaster valve that went bad. I ordered a replacement along with a fluidmaster from pentair. I will do some research...

I found the part numbers and went ahead and ordered it from Leslie's, should arrive next week. I am thinking the JB water weld should work as the epoxy, so I am going to try that out. I assume, put epoxy on the threads of the fluid master, screw the fluid master in like usual, wait for it to...

Ha! don't over tighten!! great advice, where were you a few weeks ago :) a lot of good stuff here, so now you have me wondering, I did go to Home Depot and grab a fluid master 'toilet' valve and not anything specific to a pool autofill. maybe that is why the thing is leaking? I still have...

This sounds promising. 🤞 couple of questions, what brand/type of epoxy are you thinking would work best? When you say plug the return, obviously this would be the ‘hole’ in the pool, how could I plug this? Once I do that, I can simply drain the well and go to work? The leak is on that female...

Here’s the pic of the fluidmaster valve and the outlet in the pool from the autofill. I couldn’t get a good picture of the outlet inside the autofill well, but it is literally just a hole in the side of the well that leads to that output in the pool.
