Have a pool that last week started not completely filling up after a bump cycle. It it leaving about 18” of extra water in my surge tank, causing my float valve to remain closed(standing straight up).Once I move the floats forward to a 45 degree angle, water leaves the surge tank and completes filling the pool, running water into the gutters.
Any ideas what caused this, everyday now I come in and manually move the floats forward to valves forward, all pumps running correctly while this happens.
Going to try to pump out the extra from the surge tank after a bump to see if leveling out the water is an issue.
 
Sounds like the float valve is sticking in place.

Show us pictures of the surge tank and the float valve.
