Care and MaIntenanCe
• The water fill valve requires no additional maintenance once it is set to the desired
water level.
• Regular pond maintenance, such as removing debris from the skimmer bag will
help the water fill valve operate accurately.
• Winter preparation - the water fill valve will not operate during extended freezing
temperatures. Simply detach brass garden hose adaptor from water spigot. No
additional steps need to be taken to clear water from the 1/2” poly-pipe irrigation.
