The float valve assembly caused the bottom drain to function again. Without it the flow was entirely from the skimmer basket. The bottom water is now visibly cleaner.
Cons: Can be a safety issue for main train entrapment prevention
Good to have if you are on extended vacation in dry weather and local water ordinances do not allow auto pool water fill devices. Low skimmer water level float shuts off and keeps air from getting into the circulating pump suction, gasing off the pump which will over heat the seal/bearing and ruin the pump end of the circulation system. Also good if your skimmer basket over fills with leaves and water level in skimmer drops too low which would allow air into circulating pump.
