What happens when the pool water level is too high?

How can a high water level in your pool affect its operation? One of the most important aspects of managing your pool is the water level. Indeed, a high water level can affect the operation of the pool skimmer, the pool robot, or the Beatbot in general. This may seem inconsequential, but in addition to disrupting the cleaning performed by your independent robot, a water level that is too high can damage your skimmer. In this article, we will discuss everything about what happens when a very high water level disrupts the levels in your pool. With too much water, your filtration and water quality system will not be able to function properly. It turns out that the water level has a direct impact on the operation of your equipment, especially your pool skimmer. In cases where the level is too high, the following problems can occur.

The skimmer may not work

Generally, pool skimmers are designed so that if they see half the height in the water, they are working perfectly. On the other hand, if the level is too high, the suction is at an awkward angle, and it will not collect debris and leaves as effectively as it should.

• Navigation issues: If the water level is too high, pool robots will likely have trouble navigating properly. Cordless models are more likely to have problems with obstetric disappointment. They also risk getting stuck in certain areas of the pool.
• Flooding the filtration system: Higher water levels also affect the filtration performance, affecting the pool robot. In addition, models such as wireless pool robots can become ineffective if the filtration is disrupted because they use filtration to cover debris and dirt.
• Consequences for the pumping system and drinking water: A maintained water level would also disrupt water circulation. This will not only damage the pool robot but also affect the proper circulation of the pump and filter. The pump is essential for handling water through the filter, and if water is not properly filtered, constant overload can damage the pump. In addition, excess water prevents the water from being filtered properly, reducing filtration and cleanliness.

Discomfort for swimmers

Although it doesn’t directly affect the pool robot, excessive water levels can make it uncomfortable for swimmers to access a pool with high water levels. If the water is too high, getting in and out of the pool can become difficult and painful. How can you avoid excessively high water levels? Now that you understand the implications of water level height, here are some ways to avoid excessively high water levels and maintain them at an optimal level.

• Regularly monitor the water level: It is essential to regularly check the water level of your pool, especially after heavy rain or swimming. Daily monitoring can prevent the water from overflowing.
• Using an automatic level regulator: Many modern pools are equipped with an automatic regulator system that allows the water level to be adjusted to a constant level. However, if your system does not have this feature, you may want to consider installing your own.
• Check the weather forecast: After heavy rain or thunderstorms, your pool’s water level can rise significantly. Be sure to check the water level after these events and address any necessary changes.
• Don’t manually fill the pool too often: If the problem is severe, make sure not to overfill the pool while cleaning it by hand. Be sure to check the water level before and after each filling. The benefits of a robot with an intelligent pool sense system. Modern robots, like the Beatbot AquaSense 2, also feature an intelligent system that can adjust settings based on measurement data. A modern robot can detect changes in water depth or level and adjust the pool’s RR model to ensure effective cleaning without getting stuck.

Some robots, including the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro, allow you to control your robot’s behavior based on the water level, so even if your pool doesn’t stay at the same level all the time, you can still keep it clean.

Conclusion

A pool robot is often a significant investment in keeping your pool clean. But for it to work as well as possible, you must maintain the correct water level. Too high a water level can damage your pool skimmer, disrupt overall water circulation, and even make your pool robot less effective. You’ll get the best results if you adjust your water level and use robots like the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro or the Beatbot iSkim Ultra. So, be sure to monitor your Lilyvlog water level to avoid using more than necessary and to extend the life of your Lilyvlog cleaning equipment.
