Autofill Help, pool level too low

[antneed]

4 year pool with autofill/drain ,
My water level is consistently low, I have tried adjusting the float, but then the water rises and starts spilling out of the auto overflow.
I also tried topping off pool with garden hose, and again water starts dumping out of the auto drain overflow.

It was a new construction home/pool build in December 2020.
Does the whole auto fill mechanism need to be physically moved in order to get the correct water level in the pool?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, pictures attached

Ant,

The autofill can't add more water than where the overflow drain is placed...

It appears your overflow is part of your auto fill, is that correct, or does your pool have an overflow port in the side of the pool?

When 'full,' your water level should be in the middle of the skimmer. Where is your water level when the auto fill shuts off???

Thanks,

Jim R.

Ant,

Show us some pics of the pool, skimmer and water level..

Did the pool initially work and now does not??

I find it hard to believe that you have not been using your skimmer for 4 years...

Thanks,

Jim R.
