K2000CKG Levolor 110/220-Volt Fill with High Level Switch Water Level Controller with 200-Feet Sensor and 1-Inch Valve
Best for: Users needing a permanent, high-precision, and integrated electrical water control system for their pool infrastructure.
The K2000CKG Levolor controller provides a sophisticated, high-capacity solution for pool owners requiring precise automation. This unit features dual voltage capabilities and a high-level switch, making it a versatile choice for those looking to integrate advanced water management into their existing pool maintenance routine and infrastructure.
This controller is engineered for users who need a more robust, system-integrated approach to water level regulation. By supporting both 110 and 220-volt configurations, it offers flexibility for various electrical setups found in residential pool equipment pads. The inclusion of a high-level switch adds a layer of control, helping to prevent overfilling, which is a common concern with basic mechanical levelers. Potential buyers should consult with a qualified electrician to confirm compatibility with their current pool control panel. The 200-foot sensor capacity also allows for flexible placement, making it suitable for larger pool decks where the water source is located at a significant distance.
Practical fit
The K2000CKG is designed for seamless integration with existing Levolor systems, making it a natural choice for those already utilizing the brand. Its installation is more involved than a simple garden hose attachment, requiring electrical connections and proper sensor placement. Before purchasing, verify that your pool plumbing supports the 1-inch valve size provided in the kit. The system is best suited for installations where the user wants a permanent, hidden solution rather than a deck-mounted device. Ensure your equipment pad has sufficient space to house the controller unit safely away from direct water spray or harsh chemicals.
Tradeoffs and ownership
Owning an electronic controller like this requires a higher level of initial setup and potential ongoing electrical maintenance. While it offers superior precision compared to mechanical floats, the complexity means more components could potentially fail over time. Owners should be prepared to troubleshoot sensor readings if the system experiences drift or interference. It is an excellent upgrade for those who prioritize automation and want to avoid the aesthetic clutter of hoses on their pool deck. Those uncomfortable with electrical work should factor in the cost of professional installation to ensure the unit is safely integrated into the pool system.
