Abstract:

An automatic water level system having a pair of micro-switches nested within a substantially cylindrically shaped primary housing having a first and second end for electrical lead lines. The primary housing is disposed within a cavity of a substantially cylindrical, T-shaped secondary housing or baffle including a mounting assembly. Each electrical lead line is a water resistant control line, which extend from an end of the pair of micro-switches disposed within the primary housing to a remote control unit via the first and second ends. The control lines are optionally recessed within a cavity of the secondary housing for connection to a remote control unit, which activates a fluid supply valve and/or a drain valve. The secondary housing further includes a first and second cap having concentric apertures and the respective caps are removably secured to the housing. The external portion of the secondary housing includes a mounting bracket and faceplate for attachment with an existing interior wall portion of a pool via epoxy or mechanical reinforced fasteners.
