Noisy Auto Fill

9 years ago

Every year I am having to replace the float bottle and valve on my autofill because they get very noisy. It seems after 6 to 8 months the valve vibrates very bad resulting in me hearing a tapping sound in the plumbing in my house. Is there a better auto fill to use that will cut down on noise and hold up? Is there any way to clean or repair the one I already have?

Check your water pressure to the auto fill. You may have too much causing early failure. You may want to have a plumber install a device on the supply line to prevent water hammering. 40 psi is plenty.

We stopped using this type of auto fill years ago as they would get stuck in the open or closed position due to debris.

I'm not sure of the brand you use. Some utilize a plastic float ( like a toilet) and some have a brass valve which can corrode from pool chemicals.
