Add an automatic pool water leveler during a renovation?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

So my pool has a slight leak - i hired a leak detection company (ALD) & they said hte leak was in one of my spa jets (they showed me the one). My renovation (paint removal, sandblasting, replastering) has repairing the leak which involved breaking part of the spa wall to get to the pipe.

While the wall is open I was thinking about the possiblity of adding an automatic water filler - not sure if I can even do that given the size of the hole & the fact that my decking is all concrete.

I currently have something I bought on amazon which does the job but does mean i keep it out 90% of the time.

If i were to guess on pricing - I am not even sure how they would get the pipe from the pool to the grass - I would estimate $1000 or more to get it installed (that is probably low).

Figured i would check here before asking the PB as this may be just a silly question & I dont want the PB to start trying to sell me blinker fluid.

Thanks,
Rich

I think an automatic pool water filler should go into the pool, not the spa. Is your construction giving you access to the pool wall or skimmer box?

Pentair has this unit - Pool White Goods | Pool and Spa | Automatic Water Fillers

Pentair also has Intelliilevel that goes in the equipment pad and doesn't require a water line into the pool - Pool Automation | Pool and Spa | IntelliLevel Water Leveling Monitor
