The fill time of seven minutes is fixed and cannot be adjusted. However, because LevelSmart monitors the water level every 30 minutes, it is capable of adding a substantial amount of water throughout a 24-hour period. This seven-minute fill duration has been intentionally designed to be more than adequate to accommodate any size of water body, ensuring that even large ponds or lakes receive sufficient water without the need for longer fill times.
If you find that the seven-minute fill time is too long for your specific needs, especially when dealing with smaller water bodies, you have the option to use the flow control knob. This knob allows you to decrease the volume of water that passes through the valve during each fill cycle. Adjusting the flow control is particularly recommended for smaller applications such as hot tubs, small ponds, or decorative water features, where a slower fill rate helps prevent overfilling and maintains optimal water levels without waste.

Any magnet will work, as long as it is strong enough. A thicker fridge magnet or a stronger option typically does the job.

We also offer a dedicated LevelSmart magnet for sale. If you'd like to purchase one, simply email support@konalabs.com.

The LevelSmart comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.
