Skimmer Accessories
AF1000 AUTO-FILL KIT
Labeled drill points have been provided for the
proper Auto-fill location on either side of the Oasis
Skimmer. See the diagram. It is a good idea to
completely install the pump, check valve assembly,
and discharge hose before you drill for the Auto-fill.
This will help you determine the best side of the
Skimmer to place the Auto-fill so that
it has proper clearance on all sides.
Once you have determined the
location of the Auto-fill, drill a 7/8”
hole using a spade bit or hole saw.
Insert the Auto-fill making sure the
gasket is on the inside of the skim-
mer and the plastic retaining nut is
on the outside. Tighten the retain-
ing nut until snug. (Do not over-
tighten the retaining nut.)
Fittings to connect the Auto-Fill
to a garden hose, 1/2” irrigation
line, and 1/2” Sch40 are included in the kit. Wrap the 1/2” male threads on the
Auto-fill with thread sealant and install the fitting of your choice. Once water
is supplied to the Auto-fill it will maintain the set water level by automatically
adding water when the level drops. This level can be adjusted by loosening the
wing nut and raising and lowering the height of the auto-fill float. Use the water
line mark on the weir door frame to help establish proper water level.
SKIMMER OVERFLOW
A drill-point has been provided on the back of the Oasis skimmer to show
the proper location and elevation to install an Atlantic HA2000 bulkhead fitting
for the overflow (not included). See diagram above for drill-point location. This
combination will position the bottom of the overflow pipe approximately 1”
above recommended water level. (Note: If a HA2000 bulkhead is not being
used, the center point for the hole will have to be recalculated on site.)
Drill a 3” hole and install the bulkhead following the instructions on page 8.
Install a 2” MTA and connect the overflow pipe.
