Automatic Water-Level Control for Ponds, Pools & Tanks
The Long Arm Float Valve Kit is a simple, fail-safe way to keep your pond, pool, or water tank from overflowing while it fills. As the water level rises, the float lifts and gradually shuts off the incoming flow—so you never have to stand watch over a hose again. Built with brass arms and joints for long-term durability, it’s a smart addition to any backyard water feature. Pair it with other pond care products to keep your water feature clean, full, and thriving.
This kit includes everything needed for a full hose-bib installation: the float valve with nut and washer, a galvanized metal mounting bracket, a hose bib adapter, two brass compression ferrules, two plastic sleeves, two brass inserts, and 10 feet of poly tubing. The bracket anchors under a rock at the pond’s edge, and the water level is easily fine-tuned by loosening the thumb screw and raising or lowering the float arm. Backed by a 30-day manufacturer warranty. Note: This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for lead exposure—see the compatibility box below for details.
- Prevents Overflow: Automatically shuts off water flow once your pond, pool, or tank reaches the level you set—no more forgotten hoses or flooded yards.
- Durable Brass Construction: Brass arms and joints stand up to years of outdoor exposure.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes the bracket, hose bib adapter, tubing, and fittings needed to connect to a nearby spigot.
- Easy Water-Level Adjustment: A simple thumb screw lets you raise or lower the float to set your ideal fill level.
- Backed by a Warranty: Covered by a 30-day manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
