Float Valves -- gotta have 'em!

4/5/2016

0 Comments

 

can't live with them, can't shoot them

Float valves can be a real pain in the neck!  They get loose over time, they get old, they get knocked out of adjustment by the skimmer net/basket, they're just stubborn sometimes. But here in the Sonoran desert, they are a necessity, especially during our hottest, driest months of May and June.

Luckily, though, they are a simple mechanism, and you can learn to work with them yourself instead of being a captive to service call fees every time the little bugger gets sideways with you.  The video below shows you exactly how to adjust your float valve yourself.  So, don't be intimidated!

If you need assistance, we're only a phone call (623-572-5607) or an email away.  Don't hesitate to yell for help!
