As a pool owner in Arizona, I’ve battled constant evaporation and the tedious chore of manually refilling my pool. The Fill-O-Matic has been a game-changer. Its patented design is sturdy, with a rubber base that stays put—no more sliding into the pool like cheaper plastic models.

The installation was a breeze. The stainless steel hose and UV-resistant brackets scream durability. I paired it with a brass connector (as recommended) and a pressure regulator, and it’s been flawless for months. The adjustable bracket fits my in-ground pool perfectly, and the water level stays right where I set it—no more overflow or pump air-drawing disasters.

What I love: It works like a toilet tank valve, filling slowly but precisely. The small rubber washer acts as a governor, preventing rapid overflows. It’s whisper-quiet, and I no longer panic about leaving town. The peace of mind is worth every penny.

Minor gripes: It’s pricier than competitors (I’d knock 25% off the price), and the white plastic seal inside is a weak point—wish it came with spares. But after 4+ years of use (even in salty Puerto Rico!), it’s still kicking. Just replace corroded connectors if you’re near the ocean.

Verdict: If you’re tired of babysitting your pool, this is a must-buy. It’s reliable, well-built, and eliminates a major hassle. 5/5 for functionality, 4/5 for value. Highly recommended!
