• Regular pond maintenance such as removing debris from the skimmer basket/net will help
the WFV operate more efficiently.
• Winter preparation – The WFV will not operate during extended freezing temperatures. Simply
turn off the water supply to the unit and disconnect 1/4" tubing from the WFV. To remove
tubing from the quick connect fitting, hold in the socket on the fitting and pull tubing out.
• Float must be in a flat vertical position to work.
Skimmer Installation
1) Measure down 3" inches from the top of the
Signature and Classic series for proper hole
location. The second hole should be 1" over.
2) Drill two 5/32” holes at the locations marked.
3) Hold the WFV with slide plate assembly to the
inside of the skimmer and thread the two screws
from the outside through the holes drilled.
4) Lay the tubing through the cord relief and insert
into the quick connect fittings. For Classic series,
drill a 9/32" hole in the back wall to run the
tubing through. Leave extra tubing inside the
skimmer for adjustments. To remove tubing from
the quick connect fitting, hold in the socket on
the fitting and pull tubing out.
5) Bury the 1⁄4" poly tubing to water spigot and
connect using adaptor.
6) Adjust the WFV. Final adjustments to the fill valve
should be made while the pump is operating and
the water in the pond is at the desired level. Simply
loosen the thumbscrew and slide the unit up or
down until the valve shuts off at the desired level.
The valve will shut off 3/4"-1" from the bottom of
the valve depending on pressure. Note: There will
be a short delay in shut off the first time the valve
is used while the control chamber fills with water.
Retighten the thumbscrew.
