Noticed a hissing sound coming from my autofill today, and sure enough there is a slow leak coming from the top of the fill valve assembly. See attachment. I'm hoping to avoid a $250+ visit from the pool company. In the mean time, I've jammed a stick under the lever to hold the float in the 'up' position, which has stopped the leak/flow of water.
So quick question... I'm a noob and want to confirm that I'm not missing something obvious in replacing this...
1 - Shut off Water at the main
2 - Disconnect the rubber/silicone tube & remove the old fill valve (twists out right...?)
3 - Screw in new fill valve, reattach the tube
4 - Turn water back on
5 - Done ?
THANKS!!!!!
