    auto fil valve

    Long story short - after replaster the guys installed a new pool auto float for some reason The water level seems to be about .5 - 1 inch too low. Do I raise or lower the actual float to increase water level height? Thank you; hope this makes sense. :)

    Shutoff valve not completely turning off water

    Hi all So I drained my pool Sunday night(and turned off the autofill valve), and noticed when I attempted to turn the valve off, the water did not completely shut off. I had to rig the float valve, put a brick up against it, in order to stop the water. Any ideas? Thanks for everything.

    auto-fill

    HI all My water level is too high, which is somewhat inhibiting my pool skimmer. I have an auto-fill, but can't figure out how to adjust it. I need lower my waterline by about half an inch or so. It's a standard auto-fill, nothing special. Any help would be great!
