Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the diameter of this float?

This model has a 6-inch diameter.

Can this float be used in salt water?

While made of durable plastic, it is primarily designed for fresh water and pond applications; prolonged exposure to high salt concentrations may affect long-term durability.

Is this product compatible with all float valves?

It is designed to be compatible with most standard float valve arms, but you should verify your existing thread size and arm length before purchase.

Does the float come with a mounting arm?

No, this is for the float ball only; the mounting arm must be purchased separately.

How do I maintain the float?

Keep the surface clean of algae or debris and periodically inspect for any cracks or structural damage.

Is this float suitable for high-pressure systems?

It is suitable for standard domestic water pressure systems; it is not recommended for high-pressure industrial applications.

Troubleshooting

Float is not rising to stop water flow

Check if the float has taken on water through a crack or if the valve arm is obstructed by debris.

Float is sitting too low in the water

Verify that the float is firmly attached to the arm and that the arm has not been bent out of alignment.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality, durable plastic construction
  • Stable 6-inch spherical design
  • Lightweight and easy to install

  • Limited to specific 6-inch size requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the D60 float, ensure your existing float arm is cleaned of debris or scale. Thread the float onto the arm securely, ensuring it does not wobble; avoid overtightening the plastic threads as this can cause cracking. Regularly inspect the float for surface damage or water ingress during seasonal cleaning. If the float shows signs of wear, it should be replaced immediately to ensure the integrity of your water level control system.
