    Default pool autofill keeps filling, overage is drained

    Our autofill will not stop filling the pool with water. We have tried to adjust the float but that is not working. Any suggestions?

    Most of them work just like a toilet tank float. It lifts till it cuts off the water, If it won't cut off when you move it manually, it's time for a new one.
