Macgyver fix#1 - Swimming pool water adder

This blog isn't all about arcade games, as sometimes I'd like to post about something fixed around the house. Maybe it might come in handy to someone else. About 8 months ago, we bought an automatic water adder(Poolkeeper model 128 by Marpac) off of Amazon for $85, as our pool has a small leak, and last year the water ran so low that the pump went dry and burned up, setting me back $450. Ouch!!. Seven months later, the crappy 'Poolkeeper' wouldn't stop adding water, causing the pool to overflow. The valve had already failed. A replacement valve was $25 from Marpac. What a piece of crap. Ended up putting together an automatic water adder of my own, using a toilet bowl water valve, some PVC, and a PVC to garden hose adaptor. The end result, a $20 water adder that has a full 3 inches of adjustment. So far, so good. Water level in the pool has stayed nice and level for the past two days. Now to figure out where the pool is leaking and fix that!!!
