Autofill #1 Autofill #2
Pool Auto-Fill Spa Auto-Fill Auto-Fill Style Fill Speed
Yes Yes Float Slow
Auto-Fill Additional Notes

The top pool has an auto fill installed however it is not activiated and is screwed sealed shut. Generally this indicates the pool auto fill is not in working condition and I feel because of low calcium hardness level that I may have malfunctioned and overfilled the pool at one time and this they shut it off vs replacing the float ($125). This is also felt due to the lower "spa" or spillover auto fill being removed and a turn valve installed. Both should be repaired and addressed for automatic water fill function ($255).
