Automatic Water Fill Valves for Ponds, Fountains and Waterfalls A pond auto fill valve keeps your pond, fountain or pondless waterfall at the right water level without dragging out the garden hose. Most use a float: when evaporation or waterfall splash lowers the water, the float drops and opens the valve, and once the water is back to the level you set, the float rises and shuts it off. You will also see them called float valves, water levelers, automatic pond fillers or auto top offs. Play It Koi carries auto fill valves and kits from Aquascape, Blue Thumb, Savio, Atlantic Water Gardens, Helix and Teton, plus the spigot fitting and supply line to install them. Why Use an Auto Fill Valve Ponds lose water every day, and more in hot, windy weather. If the level drops too far, a skimmer can stop pulling water and your pond pump can run dry. An auto fill valve replaces that water a little at a time, which protects the pump and avoids the big swings in water chemistry that come from adding a lot of fresh water at once.
