Staypoollizer FAQ

Recommendations for worry-free operation.

 

Use a good quality water hose. (Apex 8509-50) brand has a good track record and is available in many lengths and colors. This brand can be found at most local hardware stores and online. Avoid water hoses that have aluminum ends due to galvanic corrosion. If the ends of the water hose are silver, most likely they are made of aluminum.

Reduce the flow of water to no more than a steady stream out of the faucet. In the unlikely event of water hose failure, this will reduce the water loss to a minimum. Reduced water flow is normally enough supply to keep the average pool full. Now, the Staypoollizer is controlling the water level 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

 

Water Hose Connection to Brass Swivel

 

Every Staypoollizer goes through a high-pressure check to ensure proper operation of the float assembly and leak detection of the brass swivel. Each unit must pass these demanding tests before we put our seal of approval on them.

If you are having an issue where the brass swivel leaks, here are a few tips to look for.

Damaged threads on the end of the water hose.

Although the water hose may appear to be tight inside the swivel. It will prevent the hose end from going deep enough into the swivel, not allowing the face of the water hose to make contact with the water hose gasket.

If the swivel can be wiggled after the hose has been tightened damaged threads are preventing the hose from sealing.

Simply try another hose or replace the hose end. Do not use tools to force the connection to seal.

 

My Staypoollizer is running all the time. Is there something wrong?

 

The Staypoollizer will run continuously under certain circumstances and keep your pool water level within 1/4" of its set point year-round.

Suppose your pool water is staying at the same level and the Staypoollizer is continuously running. In that case, the unit is simply replacing water as it's lost due to evaporation or leaks, and the Staypoollizer is operating correctly.

Common reasons the Staypoollizer might begin to fill over.

• Trash has entered the water inlet, not allowing the neoprene disk to seal. (remove the water hose and inspect the inlet for debris.)
• If the unit is only a few days old and worked correctly, then begin overfill. (Check  the float for waterlogged condition - water is inside the float.)
• If the unit is older (rotate the neoprene disk with the tip of your finger; this will give the water inlet a new surface to seal to.) Performing this simple step once a year will keep the Staypoollizer running like new for many years.
