autofill

When I bought my house less than a year ago, the autofill was working perfectly, but now every time I activate the autofill, the sprinklers stay on and won't turn off. I can't keep the autofill on because of this issue. What can I do to fix it? Also, when I connect my vacuum, there's no...

There are two PVC lines that port to the pool side by side one is 3/4" and one is 1/2" and they run under the deck to the dead lawn. They do not connect to anything but were in a wood cover box with fabric on the end I am guessing to keep debris out. There is no equalizer port in the side of...

I purchased an On the Go "Double Standard" water softener to top up my pool with softened water as needed. This softener has been discussed in several forum posts (e.g., RV water softener for auto-fill line) I would now like to plumb this softener into the autofill line at my equipment pad, so...

This weekend I discovered a pool leak which is a crack in the water inlet at the bottom of my Poolmiser autofill sump (see photo). I had noticed a few weeks back that the fill valve was not perfectly vertical, but rather leaning back at an angle. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but...

I came across this: Add water to the pool automatically and since it was an old thread I started a new one. I did something similar to this post but added a simple way to make it automatic. If you estimate or actually measure the rate of water evaporation (measure inches of water level lost in...

Hi folks, My auto-fill device has stopped working reliably and I have some questions on how to repair/replace. Context is this is on a new-to-me pool (as of July) so I don't know the history of this particular equipment.. Questions: 1. Can toilet fill valves be used for pool autofill, or are...

Hello, First time poster but very thankful for this site and you all. I have kind of an odd problem so here it is: I have a Levolor LX2 Autofiller. I just had the sensor replaced as it had burnt out. The lights on the LX2 correctly tell me when the sensor is triggered. If it is triggered...

We have two water meters: a 1" domestic and a 2" for the irrigation and, previously, the pool autofill. The pool and house were built in the 19500s when the pool supply line could be connected to the irrigation supply line. When the pool was remodeled, the building code required the pool to...

Hi all, Recently I noticed water in my alleyway (usually after my pool stops running) and I suspect it may be from pool overflow as the water level is at the level of overflow drain. The water inside my autofill is higher than the float (pentair) and so I'm confused as to why there is extra...

I will be installing new irrigation lines in my backyard, and figure it's time to add autofill to my pool. Currently I fill my in-ground gunite pool using a hose because there is no fill line going to the pool. Phoenix AZ area, so lots of evaporation. I don't want the pool edge style autofill...

Hi everyone! I just joined the forum this morning, hoping y’all can help us with our current quandary. We have a forty thousand gallon in-ground pool. Yesterday we noticed some standing water at the edge of our driveway out front. We’re in Phoenix’s west valley so any standing water is...

Hi All, Since swapping my pool to salt a system I've been noticing I seem to need to add more salt person than I would expect which led me down the road of leak investigation. I went out to adjust the autofill valve for a lower water level today (this is why the float is below water level in...

Afternoon all - we are experiencing freezing temps here in Texas. I am running the pump 24/7, however I have an auto filler line that meets with a spigot on the house. To prevent any issues, I’ve turned the water off to the spigot and left the spigot and autofill valves open, so any pressure...

Hello, I recently had to remove my pool deck and found I have a unused 1 inch line that used to run a pressure pool cleaner. Since the line is already in the wall of the in ground pool I would like to make it an auto fill. The line goes up from the pool wall then does a 90 right below the...

Hi all - just joined last week and enjoying all the great content. I wanted to share something I learned and couldn't find on the forum, and get feedback if anyone has had something similar. Issue: Jandy Levolor K-1100 autofill with the 1in 24V Solenoid with Flow Control (SOL100) would not...

Hi, I've been having a reoccurring problem of my pool being overfilled. The filler is a Korky, similar to this one. The unit was completely submerged and water was still coming out of the spout at the top when I bent it up out of the water. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop this issue...

Hello, my concrete decking was recently poured and I have a question about my autofill. As you can see from the pic, it is encased in concrete. Is this an error??

My Pool guy just installed a new pressure vacuum break, it was leaking from the top. Is it installed correctly. Here are the before and after pictures. 1. Is it installed correctly? I am concerned with the handles so close to the wall. I had to replace the handles in the past on my old...

Hoping someone can advise before I rent a bulldozer. i noticed my water level of my inground pool was low. when i checked my supply line, i noticed there was no water in it. I checked the anti-syphon and there is no water coming up into that. My problem is there is no (known) valve that...
