    Difficult question about spill over spa

    Did the stone mason cut a drip edge under the spill edge stone? It helps with capillary action when water rolls under the stone. Ask the stone mason if the spillover stone can be removed and have a 1/8" slot cut into the stone.

    Pool Vacuum not very productive

    When you use this tool, do you close the main drain and skimmer valves? When you close these valves, the pump is now only this drawing water from the vac valve.
