3/8" Brass Water Float Valve — 125 PSI Pool & Tank Level Controller
Product description
Durable brass construction: The core components are machined from heavy-duty brass to resist corrosion and hold up in pool and tank environments. The valve assembly uses metal body parts for longevity where plastic valves often fail.
What’s included: The package contains the 3/8" threaded float valve assembly, a molded float, an adjustable rod with wingnut, and the packing/seal components needed for installation. The unit is ready to attach to standard 3/8" fittings.
Compact design for in-ground pools: The valve's relatively small footprint lets it be mounted in tight spaces around pool equipment and skimmer boxes without getting in the way of other plumbing.
Adjustable float level: An adjustable screw/rod allows you to set the water cutoff point precisely. Raise or lower the float on the rod to determine the fill height and prevent overfill or underfill.
Easy wingnut adjustment: A large wingnut secures the float position and makes tweaks simple without tools. This user-friendly adjustment helps fine-tune operation after initial installation.
Flow and pressure compatibility: Rated for a flow capacity of about 2.25 GPM and tested up to 125 PSI, the valve provides steady water regulation for automatic fill systems, garden fountains, tanks and similar applications.

Replaced leaking plastic valve
Switched from a plastic float that never closed fully to this brass unit for my pool autofill. It shuts off cleanly when full; hoping it holds up over time.

Occasional leak until adjusted
Had to jiggle and tweak the float a few times; it dripped when the plunger was down until I re-set it.

Solidly built and stopped my leak
Good heavy brass build with a sizable float — replaced my old unit and it immediately cured the pool filler leak.
