| We have a new pool. The plumber originally installed an A&A Quik Water Leveler (http://aamfg.com/waterLeveler.php). I guess some rocks got into it so my pool guy replaced it with a home depot standard toilet filler. Pretty normal I guess... The only problem is that when it is filling, it kind of does it in spurts which is normal as I guess due to waves in the pool. These spurts cause the wilkins valve at the water source to make a noise that lasts about a second. It's kind of annoying in the house because you can hear it. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Replace the auto-fill or the wilkins?
Thanks...Chris |

| I called it an backflow but I guess it is really called a pressure vacuum breaker. I guess its the same thing....but just to be clear... |

| If there is a valve on the supply between the BFP device and the auto leveler try closing it 1/2 way. This may slow the filler and reduce the water hammer you are experiencing. |
