One of the worst accidents that can happen to your above-ground pool is if it accidentally springs a leak. Unfortunately, there is no one cause of a leak in an above-ground pool, and sometimes, there can be no way to prevent it from occurring.
Leaks can happen due to a rip or tear in the liner of the pool’s frame, a poorly-constructed pool leaking because of shoddy workmanship, or due to harsh inclement weather causing property damage. Water leaking from the pool will lead to water damage to the surrounding environment, in the form of a negative reaction to the water’s chemical content, and the increasing lack of water inside of the pool can lead to a greater chance of infections from bacteria. Worse yet, if it’s a slow leak and not a wide-open hole that the water’s flowing from, a pool owner might not notice the leak at first, allowing the damage to slowly spread without the pool owner even noticing before it becomes too late to prevent. Luckily, if your pool has sprung a leak, or is frequently subject to springing leaks, then there is a simple solution that will prevent leaks from occurring.
A pool filler is a device that will automatically maintain the correct water level of your above-ground pool. Set-up is very user friendly. Snap both pieces of the filler together (a process that does not require additional tools). Hook one end of the device to a garden hose to siphon the water. The pool filler rests on the top rail or lip of your above-ground pool. The filler should be positioned so that half of the device is under the pool water.
From there, the filler will frequently scan the water levels in your above-ground pool. The filler can detect when the water supply is lower than normal. When it detects a lower content of water, the pool filler releases water from the hose into the pool. The filler can remember when the normal water levels are supposed to be, and will shut off the addition of the hose water after stabilization. The device is smart enough to not flood the pool and your yard with unnecessary amounts of water.
Even though the pool filler performs its tasks automatically, it is wise to monitor its actions from time to time to see if the device ever goes off. If it has, you shouldn’t just leave the pool alone. If the pool filler has added water to the pool recently, it would be wise to inspect the entire pool and pipe system to check for any damage. Any holes or rips should be manually repaired as soon as possible. Everyone wants stability. With a pool filter constantly monitoring the water, you can always count on the stability of the water supply in your above-ground pool.
