Well I finally received my purchase a slight delay. Directions are very simple you just look at the pictures and can figure out how it goes together. I read other reviews about it leaking and I realized right off the bat that I would need to use plumbers tape on the water connections. I put a few rocks inside the container to weigh it down like it said put the lid on and turned on the water, wallah! No leaks and it is filling my pool as I write this review. Personally, I don't understand any pool builder making it an extra to include a pool water leveler that's just plain nuts or the buyer not making sure there is a automatic water leveler installed with the building of the pool. The hassle of adding water to the pool during the summer time is rediculous. I either get to low or add to much water even when I put on a timer. This is the perfect solution for a mere pentance. Ahhhh........ A little note to the seller, I would include a small roll of plumbers tape and include that in their instructions because they got a lot of bad reviews based on leaking water at the connections that are unnecessary. Just because there are rubber seals doesn't mean it can't leak around the threads. To make things easer to remove the hose and turn off the water at the unit, I am going to attach hose quick connect and a on/off valve. Here is one-Twinkle Star 3/4 Inch Garden Hose Fitting Quick Connector Male and Female Set, 4 Set and a valve too. I love these things it makes it so easy to change disconnect the hose from faucets or change your sprayers with out having to go through trying to unscrew which is usually difficult to do.
