providing a wave pool having a pool area and one or more chambers configured to retain and release water from and to the pool area, each of the one or more chambers comprising a sensor, a vent valve, and an ingress valve;
at least partially closing the vent valve and at least partially opening the ingress valve to pressurize at least one chamber of the one or more chambers and reduce a water level in the at least one chamber;
at least partially opening the vent valve and at least partially closing the ingress valve to evacuate the air from the at least one chamber and increase a water level in the at least one chamber;
at least partially closing the vent valve and at least partially opening the ingress valve to pressurize the at least one chamber and lower a water level in the at least one chamber;
receiving an input from the sensor in the at least one chamber;
determining an intermediate position of at least one of the vent valve and ingress valve between the fully open and fully closed position thereof in response to the input from the sensor; and
positioning at least one of the vent valve and ingress valve in the intermediate position.
