Recommended Customer Reviews

So pleased with their service. Had a mystery leak which I assumed was the pool as it was loosing water. Turns out it was an irrigation leak and the pool water was draining to the irrigation system. Without Kona Labs, I might be replacing my pool instead of some leaky irrigation valves. Excellent service and honest, I highly recommend Kona Labs.

Easy to install. Pairing the sensor was a bit tricky (I should have read the instructions more closely). Distance from the sensor to the antenna is awesome! Once paired, the unit operated flawlessly. I replaced the included plastic valve with a brass one so that it would interface properly with my copper piping. Not a big issue at all. The water level sensor mounts easily with the included epoxy putty, even underwater. Water level has been perfect for months now. Terrific product. Highly recommended.

Really easy to install. It took me 2ish hours from start to finish (including installing the solenoid valve and the sensor), but most of that time was spent replacing cracked pipes from the existing pool equipment. I have had it running since June and haven't had to make any adjustments. I would highly recommend this product!

Purchased a Kona Labs LevelSmart Autofill for our pool as we travel and in our climate, water evaporates quickly. We received it within a few days. Installation was a breeze, after we had questions concerning the antenna in conduit, then going through our alum pool enclosure to mount the antenna tip inside the enclosure. Once that was set, the LevelSmart Sensor was installed then it paired and doing what it was supposed to do. I was surprised at the ease of pairing after we had another autolevel system several years ago that was a nightmare (don't think they are in business anymore).

I called several other companies before I called Kona Labs. Andrew was the only company to answer the phone. I described my problem and we settled on a day/time that he would come and access our issue. He arrived on time and got right to work. We're on 2 acres so we were worried about how long it would take to find the issue. He found the leak so fast that we could hardly believe it. I don't like being ripped off so when I find a company worth it's weight in gold, like Kona Labs, I become a loyal customer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew and his company. Plus they offer so many other services and products. Thank you Kona Labs, for saving me time and money!

Message this company to see if they could help me out with a water leak and got no response back. Went with another guy Hawaii Leak Detection who was amazing. He found my leak in no time. Don't use Kona Labs...

Kona Labs is absolutely wonderful and professional from start to finish. We hired them to find a leak for us in our irrigation water line and the tech followed up with a detailed report. We even bought a LevelSmart Wireless Auto Fill from them and it has been nothing but the best addition to our pool system. Definitely recommend!

Service was fast and friendly. Found my leak right away. A little pricey but Worth the price. Would have took a lot of digging to find it on my own.

Purchased the LevelSmart, installation was straightforward, antenna cable just long enough to go around the double garage to where the pool equipment sits. Kit is good quality. Calibration worked as advertised, now let us see how well it keeps the pool level! Update: It is very hot at this time, so lots of evaporation especially as I have a water cooling fountain (must have for Houston to keep the pool refreshing): So last night, first Levelsmart filling event, level rose by 1/4 of an inch and is again exactly where I calibrated it. PERFECT. I love it.

We had water coming out of our driveway and knew there was at least one leak somewhere in the 150' run from the service to the house... panic! Andrew was incredibly responsive and helpful. I spoke to him the evening we found the leak, and he said he would confirm if he was able to make it up to our home in Waikoloa in the morning. He was able to come out the next morning, identified and marked the leak and the perimeter of where the leak could be, and texted me pictures as soon as he was done. His bullseye was within 2-3"" of where the water had burst through the pipe - Incredibly accurate and well within the perimeter marked... under 6"" of concrete and 3' of dirt. Before you dig up your deck or driveway, or pay a plumber 1000's to hopefully figure it out - hire Andrew, find out where the leak is, and then deal with it.
