Automatic water leveling system

Abstract

The water leveling system of the invention includes a dual hose Y connector with a shut off valve for each outlet—one of which is usable with a hose for regular gardening, and the other of which remains open as a continuous water source to fill a swimming pool when an included float tilts downwardly in opening a gate valve to allow water to flow through a float housing enclosure in filling the pool to its desired water height.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An automatic water leveling system for a swimming pool comprising: 
 a housing having at least one aperture in a bottom surface thereof;    means coupled to a rear surface of said housing for removably securing said housing to an inside wall of said swimming pool;    a dual hose Y-connector having a single inlet and first and second outlets respectively controlled by a pair of separately openable gate valves, one of which is maintained to an “open” position;    a first hose coupled between a source of water supply and said inlet of said Y-connector;    a second hose coupled between an inlet of said housing and said one of said Y-connector outlets controlled by said open position gate valve;    and a float assembly within said housing;    whereby rising water levels within said housing above a preselected amount regulates said float assembly to inhibit continued water flow from said housing inlet to said bottom surface housing aperture.    
     
     
         2 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 1  wherein said coupling means removably secures said housing by suction to said inside wall at a prescribed height within said swimming pool.  
     
     
         3 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 2  wherein said coupling means includes hook means for grasping a preselected rung of a stepladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool.  
     
     
         4 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 2  wherein said coupling means includes strap means for grasping ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool.  
     
     
         5 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 2  wherein said coupling means includes hook means for grasping a preselected rung of a stepladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool at a deep end thereof.  
     
     
         6 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 2  wherein said coupling means includes strap means for grasping ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool at a deep end thereof.  
     
     
         7 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 2  wherein said coupling means includes hook means for grasping a preselected rung of a ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool at a deep end thereof, and includes strap means for grasping said ladder to be held in place thereat.  
     
     
         8 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 2 , including at least one aperture in a top surface of said housing.  
     
     
         9 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 8  wherein said coupling means includes at least one suction cup for removably securing said housing at said prescribed height within said swimming pool.  
     
     
         10 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 9  wherein said coupling means includes hook means for grasping a preselected rung of a ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool.  
     
     
         11 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 9  wherein said coupling means includes strap means for grasping a ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool.  
     
     
         12 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 9  wherein said coupling means includes hook means for grasping a preselected rung of a ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool at a deep end thereof.  
     
     
         13 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 9  wherein said coupling means includes strap means for grasping a ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool at a deep end thereof.  
     
     
         14 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 9  wherein said coupling means includes hook means for grasping a preselected rung of a ladder installed at said inside wall of said swimming pool at a deep end thereof, and wherein said coupling means also includes strap means for grasping said ladder installed in said swimming pool.  
     
     
         15 . The automatic water leveling system of  claim 14  wherein said housing is constructed of plastic.
