Jandy Electronic Water Leveler with One 250ft sensor lead without Valve for Filling only | K1100CKC

Keep your pool at the perfect level automatically with the Jandy Levolor K-1100 K1100CKC.

Levolor electronic water levelers sense level with no moving parts, need no in-deck canisters or under-deck fill lines, and use a time-out sequence to prevent overfilling; controllers are factory-wired 220V and field-switchable to 110V. Below we cover how it works, how to choose the right size and how to install and care for it.

Key Features of the Jandy Levolor K-1100 K1100CKC

• Basic auto-fill leveler
• 100 ft sensor lead
• Three LED indicators (power, sensor, filling)
• Compensates for waves
• No moving parts; waterproof enclosure for mechanical rooms
• Time-out sequence guards against overfilling and hidden leaks

How an Electronic Water Leveler Works

A sensor in a stilling well or the pool wall measures the water level. When it drops below the set point, the controller opens a solenoid valve on the fill line until the level returns to normal. Electronic levelers react precisely and avoid the floats and moving parts of mechanical fillers. Systems for vanishing-edge pools and water features can manage both filling and draining.

Keeping water at the right level protects your equipment. When the level drops below the skimmer opening, the pump can draw air, lose prime and run dry, which damages seals and motors. When the level is too high, skimmers stop working and debris builds up. An automatic leveler solves both problems by topping up small amounts as water evaporates or splashes out, so the pool always sits in the ideal range.

Vanishing-edge and perimeter-overflow pools depend on precise level control in the catch basin. Electronic levelers designed for these pools can fill when the basin is low and, with the right valve, drain when it rises after rain, keeping the edge running smoothly.

Choosing a Water Leveler

Match the number of sensors and valves to the bodies of water you need to control, and choose a lead length that reaches from the pool to the controller. Vanishing-edge catch basins and dual-body systems often need dual sensors and valves.

Consider how the water supply reaches the pad, the distance from the stilling well or sensor location to the controller, and whether the system needs to report to your automation panel. Monitoring how much water the leveler adds is also a useful early warning: a sudden increase can signal a leak in the shell or plumbing.

Good, Better, Best: Where the Jandy Levolor K-1100 K1100CKC Fits

At HVAC365 we organize every category into a simple Good, Better, Best framework so you can compare options without wading through jargon. Within our pool water feature and lighting lineup, this model sits in the Good tier: Essential features at a great value.

The Good tier is built around affordability and simplicity. You get dependable, proven equipment without paying for extras you may never use. It is the smart pick for first-time buyers, straightforward replacements, and bulk B2B or government purchases where consistent, budget-friendly specs matter most.

Not sure the Good tier is right for you? Compare it with the Better and Best options in the same category. Whatever tier you choose, the equipment is brand new and covered by the full manufacturer warranty, and our team is here to help you weigh features against budget.

Installation

Install according to the manufacturer's instructions with a proper backflow preventer on the fill line as required by local code. Professional installation is recommended.

Maintenance

• Keep the sensor clean and free of debris.
• Check for leaks if the leveler is adding more water than expected.
• Inspect the fill valve and backflow preventer annually.
• Protect the fill line and valve from freezing in cold climates.

Regional Considerations

In hot, dry regions like Arizona, Nevada and Texas, evaporation is high and water features add to it, so automatic levelers and covers help conserve water. In hard-water areas, scale builds up on waterfall lips and lenses, so balanced water and regular cleaning matter. In freezing climates, drain water features and protect lines in winter.

What's Included and Compatibility

• Wall-mount controller
• Dual-style sensor with 100 ft cord
• 1 in 24 VAC solenoid valve

Ideal for:

• Pools, spas, fountains and ponds needing simple auto-fill

Design and Planning Ideas

Water features, lighting and automatic levelers are what turn a pool into a backyard destination. Plan them early so plumbing, wiring and controls are in place before decking and coping are installed. Consider sight lines from the house and patio, the sound of moving water near seating areas, and how lights, waterfalls and the spa will work together at night. Automation systems can run water features and lights on schedules or scenes, and dedicated valves let you adjust each feature independently. When planning a remodel, ask your contractor about combining features into one project to reduce labor costs.

Every feature adds a small amount of maintenance, so choose quality components, keep water balanced and include accessible valves, screens and junction boxes. That way, your pool keeps looking its best for years with minimal effort.

Water Conservation and Efficiency

Moving water evaporates faster than still water, so features and spillways increase water use, especially in hot, dry, windy weather. An automatic water leveler prevents low water levels from damaging pumps, and a cover reduces evaporation when the pool is not in use. LED lighting uses a fraction of the energy of older lights, and running features on a schedule rather than continuously saves both water and electricity.
