IG 15K gallon pool with attached elevated spa with a spillway, built 2013.
Full Pentair Easy touch system with a VS filter pump.
When I am running the pump, with both my suction and return valves fully on POOL, I still get some return to my spa. Enough to trickle over the spillway (but not full spillway feature)...guessing about 80% to pool, 20% to spa.
Normally, that's perfect.
But, I just bought and installed a couple of these PVC cooling tubes that stick up out of the water. Has holes in it so the pool return is spread wide at night, supposedly cooling the water. I came with 2 extra caps to cap off 2 more returns in case I needed more pressure, which I did.
I am not getting enough pressure to make these effective. I have my VS pump at max, 3500.
If I could get the return to 100% go back to the pool, that would fix my issue. Just wanting to know if that's even an option before I go buy another return cap.
Any other input appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Brad
