Steve's pool project 1-24-07

I am very happy with my autofill. It is a sump with a float in it, not digital, never had issues with it, 3 years now (other than the recent freeze in CA, but that was my fault).

The only problem was when I first got it running, plumber used alot of silicone on joints and they didn't flush anything and the filler valve was clogged with bits of silicone. No problems after I cleaned it out.

I also have autodrain. Both of these low-tech solutions IMHO are well worth the costs. I got these because I wanted to make my pool as low maintenance as possible.

You don't need anything digital for the autofill - autofill uses a float like your toilet, do u need a digital autofill for your toilet?

I talked with my builder and they said they have not problem installing one. They told me that they are not too happy about using them as they also do a lot of maintenance and find that they fix them a lot. I am very handy so if I have to fix a float every few years then no big deal. Thanks!
