Autofill Parts
Shop Automatic Pool Water Levelers and Replacement Parts
Keeping the right water level isn't simply about making your pool look good; it’s actually a safety net for your equipment. If the water level drops too low, your pump can suck in air, causing the pump to overheat and a very expensive "fried" motor. An automatic pool water leveler keeps your pool full and your water chemistry stable.
At Fresh Pool Supply, we provide the most essential pool autofill parts to keep your system running without a hitch. We stock genuine parts from the big names you trust, like A&A, Pentair, CMP, and Fluidmaster. Whether you have a fancy vanishing-edge pool or a classic backyard pool, we have the floats, lids, and valves to eliminate the stress of manual filling.
Mechanical vs. Electronic: How Your Leveler Works
Most backyard pools use a mechanical system because it’s simple, durable, and doesn’t need wiring. It works like a toilet tank. As the water level drops, the pool water-leveler float sinks, opening the valve to let in fresh water. Once full, the float rises and shuts off the water.

Troubleshooting: Why is Your Pool Overflowing?
A cranky autofill can be challenging, leading to high water bills or a soggy backyard. Here’s what to look for:
-
The Never-Ending Fill: If your pool doesn’t stop filling, you probably have a damaged Pentair autofill valve diaphragm or a float arm that’s stuck "down."
-
The Dry Spell: If the water is low but the valve isn't opening, look for dirt or small pebbles that may be blocking the float.
-
The Quick Test: Pop off your automatic water filler lid and lift the float arm by hand. If the water keeps running, that valve needs to be replaced or a new O-ring installed.
Durable Autofill Brands Engineered for Any Environment
Standard plastic components often fail under the pressure of constant water contact and sun exposure. Fresh Pool Supply’s inventory of heavy-hitters are designed to withstand harsh UV radiation and temperature extremes. We recommend these top brands for long-lasting reliability:
-
A&A Manufacturing: A leader in our inventory, A&A is the go-to for specialized components like the QuikWater leveler, known for rugged durability in residential systems.
-
CMP (AquaLevel): A top choice for modern builds, the CMP series is saltwater-friendly and features some of the most reliable canister designs on the market.
-
Pentair: We stock genuine Pentair automatic water filler lids and covers to ensure your deck remains safe and your canister stays protected from debris.
-
Fluidmaster: Often considered the "gold standard" for internal valves. Frequently, you don't need a total system replacement, a simple Fluidmaster pool fill valve replacement is often all it takes to restore function.
-
Jandy: For high-end features like vanishing edges and infinity pools, Jandy Levolor parts are the preferred choice for precise water level management.
Quick Tips to Avoid a Flooded Yard
You don't need to be a plumber to keep your autofill happy. Just follow these three simple tips:
-
Clear the Junk: Leaves and dirt love to hide in autofill canisters. Give it a quick look every few months to make sure the float can move freely.
-
Check the Skimmer: For the best results, set your water level right at the mid-point of your pool skimmer parts. This keeps your pump happy and your surface clean.
-
Use the Right Lube: If you're replacing a part, use a tiny bit of Teflon-based lube on the threads. It makes tightening easier and avoids leaks later.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if my pool autofill valve is bad?
If your pool is overflowing or the water stays low even when the valve is "on," something is wrong. Also, listen for a constant "hissing" sound, which usually means the internal seal is shot.
2. Are pool autofill parts universal?
Not always. While many use a standard Fluidmaster valve, the automatic water filler lid and the float arms are usually brand-specific (like CMP vs. Pentair).
3. Can I replace a float valve myself?
Definitely! It’s a 10-minute DIY job: Turn off the water, unscrew the old valve, screw in the new one, and adjust the float height.
4. Do you carry replacement lids for Pentair and CMP?
Yes! We keep various automatic water filler lid colors in stock so you can match your cool deck or tile perfectly.
5. What is the difference between mechanical and electronic?
Mechanical units use a float (like a toilet). Electronic units (such as Jandy Levolor) use sensors and wires. Mechanics are much more common and simpler to fix yourself!
