Default Auto-fill for swimming pool.

Get the Auto-fill!! You will be able to "fine tune" it (pool company will do it initially),but it is a "life saver" in this hot weather when we have so much 'surface evaporation'. Anybody who has created a 'pond' because of pool overflow should checker their pool drain! There is a hole in the back of the filter basket assembly, where excess water can drain out into your 'drain track' (perforated drain/divider which separates your pool deck from your lanai, or other permanent concrete surface. If that drain becomes clogged (and it does) just take your garden hose (with a high pressure nozzle) and blow it out! No 'pond', no problem.
