    Water level high

    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...
