• 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.
