Product details

The AquaStar AFBV is the FillStar float valve, the part of a pool water leveler that decides when to add water.

How it works

The valve sits in the leveler and rides on a float. When evaporation, splash out and backwashing drop the pool, the float falls with the level and opens the valve to the fill line. As the pool comes back up, the float rises and closes it again. There is nothing to time and nothing to switch on.

Why it earns its place

Skimmers only work in a narrow band of water level. A pool that has dropped an inch too far lets the skimmer pull air, which is hard on the pump seal and noisy at the pad. A pool that is too high stops skimming the surface at all. A leveler keeps the pool inside that band without anyone remembering to drag a hose out.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does a water leveler float valve do?
It watches the pool level for you. As evaporation and splash out drop the water, the float falls, the valve opens and the pool tops itself back up. When the level returns the float rises and shuts the valve.
Why does a steady level matter?
The skimmer only works in a narrow band. Too low and it pulls air, which is hard on the pump. Too high and it stops skimming the surface at all.
Is this the valve only?
This listing is the AquaStar AFBV FillStar float valve. The leveler housing and the plumbing to it are handled separately.
Are installation instructions available?
Yes. AquaStar publishes an install guide for the FillStar valve.
