Thread: Auto top up

looking at something similar just to replace what the drum uses.
my chlorine is so high now i burn through carbon at an alarming rate especially in winter...

seen lots add a ball float to the dirty side of the drum, but my flow rate is so high it's 2" lower than the pond level so would be a bit of a balancing act...

Lots of people add a torbeck type cistern valve to the clean side of their drum. They a pretty compact compared to a ball float valve type.

That's what I've set up on mine

Does this then not have a negative effect on the drum float switch

Yeah, if it's going in the drum perhaps having it on the dirty side would make more sense.

Skimmer would be ideal.
