AUTO FILL GADGET

[Kaisa]

Is there a good gadget to add for auto fill? I didn’t get one and I really regret it already.

Do you have a line plumbed to the pool for manual fill?

I have that. It's a good idea poorly executed. The piping used is extremely thin-walled and snaps if you look at it wrong. I have kept the float valve (which is basically a toilet float valve) and cover (so it doesn't look as janky) and plumbed the rest with common PVC fittings. I ran a line in the yard with a cut-off valve for it.

Just be prepared if you get this one that you will likely have to replace the piping with real piping.

I don’t have an auto fill, but do have a fill line plumbed that is a station on my sprinkler system. I usually only fill on an as needed basis, but if we go out of town during the summer, I’ll program the station to come on once a week. There’s no float to have the system fill only when it hits a certain level. My brother-in-law accomplished the same thing with a timer on his faucet and a garden hose.

Good to know. That’s the problem with too many of these gadgets, they look good but poorly designed.
Thanks for giving us a heads up and potential loss of funds. At least you were able to make chicken salad
out of chicken "you know"!
