Product Description
1/2 inch brass fill valve for skimmer applications is a practical way to keep your water feature at a stable level by automatically replacing water lost to evaporation and splash-out.
Designed for skimmers and water fill boxes where consistent level control matters, this Pro-Series economy fill valve provides an easy, mechanical solution for maintaining proper operating water depth. When the water level drops, the float moves downward and opens the valve to add make-up water; as the level rises, the float lifts and closes the valve to reduce overfilling risk. This type of automatic top-off can be especially helpful during hot, dry, or windy conditions when water loss increases.
With brass components in the high-wear areas, this 1/2 inch brass fill valve for skimmer setups can be a solid choice when you prefer a more heavy-duty build than many common plastic-style options. The shutoff height is adjustable, so you can tune the operating range to suit your skimmer chamber, basin, or fill box requirements during installation.
