Aquascape Water Fill Valve 200
Automatic Water Level Management for Ponds, Waterfalls, and Fountains
The Aquascape Water Fill Valve 200 is a professional-grade solution designed to take the guesswork out of pond maintenance. By automatically adding water to your feature as evaporation occurs, this valve ensures your pump remains fully submerged and operational, while also maintaining a stable environment for fish and plants.
Its compact design and high-pressure tolerance make it versatile enough for skimmers, pump vaults, or decorative fountain basins.
Key Features:
-
Pump Protection: Prevents expensive pond pumps from running dry and burning out due to low water levels.
-
Ecosystem Stability: By adding small amounts of water frequently, the valve prevents the large swings in water chemistry and temperature (and chlorine/chloramine spikes) that occur during large manual top-offs.
-
High-Flow Performance: Reliable mechanical arm-style valve supports a flow rate of up to 3 gallons per minute (GPM) at pressures ranging from 0 to 100 PSI.
-
Durable Materials: Features robust brass hardware and a high-quality poly float for long-term resistance to corrosion and UV damage.
-
Universal Connections: Includes all necessary fittings to connect to a standard garden hose, 1/2-inch poly pipe, or 1/2-inch PVC pipe (pipe sold separately).

Why Use an Auto-Fill Valve? Evaporation is inevitable in any water feature, especially those with waterfalls or splashing fountains. Manually filling a pond with a garden hose is not only time-consuming but can be dangerous for fish if too much chlorinated tap water is added at once. The Aquascape Fill Valve 200 automates this process, providing a consistent "trickle" of fresh water that is safer for your aquatic life and easier on your schedule.
Installation Tip: When installing in an Aquascape Skimmer or Pump Vault, ensure the float arm has a full range of motion and is not obstructed by filter mats or pump plumbing. Adjust the float arm angle to set your desired "max" water level—the valve will trigger as soon as the water drops below this point.
