AutoFill
AutoFill valves are used to automatically maintain the optimum water level in pools, spa, and fountains. Basic components of an autofill are a sensor for the water level connected to a valve that lets fill water in when the pool, spa or fountain water level is low. The autofill has an equalizer pipe connected to the pool, spa or fountain and may have an overflow pipe.
The autofill is often a canister by the pool and has a round lid that looks like a skimmer.
Autofills use one of three types of water level sensors:
- Float valve
- FluidMaster valve
- Electronic sensor

Autofill Electronic Sensor
The Jandy Levolor Electronic Water Leveler uses an electronic water sensor mounted in a skimmer or standpipe connected to a control box to control the solenoid in a water fill valve.
Jandy has four Levolor Electronic Water Leveler models:
- K1100 - fill only autofill that mounts in skimmer or static pipe
- K2000 - for vanishing edge/catch basins. Sensor mounts in a static pipe and fills and controls a 24V overflow pump relay.
- K2100 - for ponds and fountains
- K2300 - for dual water body setups it monitors and fills two water bodies independently.
The Levolor has cables that run between the control box and the water sensor and the solenoid valve.
