auto fill trouble prone?

in THE MAIN WALL
I am being told the auto filler are trouble prone and the float can jamb. Thus, it was suggested that I continue manually filling the boiler twice a week on my new system. Is there really no reliable way to have the auto fill functionality? On my 1910s boiler I can understand, but in 2008 there has got to be a better way.

Any particular auto filler recommendations? The Hydrolevel VXT was previously suggested, but if there are less error prone options I am happy to hear them. (Or is the Hydrolevel just the controller?)

    auto filler

    the low water cut off is the controller the aotu waterfeed just obeys the low water cut off hydro level is a good product it a digital counter tells you how many gallons of water are feeding into the boiler

    If your filling a new boiler twice a week you have major problems

    I agree. I should have said check it twice a week if there is no auto fill.

    Are you saying the risk of problems is low?
