Our spillover is not programmable. We adjust it manually. We are wondering if our filter isn’t doing a good enough job? My husband read that sand doesn’t filter out algae and is thinking we should switch to a different filtering system. We had glass in our last filter instead of sand and it...

Ok! I’ll do that. My husband and I were just talking about the flow of water. The water flows from the hot tub to the pool through the waterfall. It has pretty good pressure but I don’t know if it’s good enough?
