    Freeze Mode Catastrophe

    Figured my problem out. It was self induced. Spa has the extra return that is intended to constantly supply water to spa when in pool mode (not a necessary return since easytouch has spillway mode). This return line had a check valve on it to prevent water from being sucked out of that return...

    Freeze Mode Catastrophe

    @RedScare - I ended up setting my actuator valves to where they are split between pool and spa (both returns and drains), set pool pump to run 24/7 and then turned off freeze mode. I woke up with half drained spa this morning. So now with new setup I have constant water being supplied to spa and...

    Freeze Mode Catastrophe

    Seeing that you are from The Woodlands, you may have same issue I had. Pool builders around here add an additional spa return that supplies water from pool to Chlorinate spa. This return is not really needed as most pentair setups have spillway mode. Anyway, if the additional spa return is...

    Raised spa overhang

    Our old pool had the overhang and we hated it. New pool has rolled edge. So much more comfortable.

    Can't find liquid chlorine

    Check with your local pressure washing companies and ask where they buy bulk chlorine. You can get 5 gallons of 12.5% for under $15 where I live.

    Check valve for spa fountain vs spa return

    Yes - this is what was occurring on my pool. When pump is in pool mode, it always supplied water to that return in spa and water always overflowed over spa waterfall. If that valve goes bad, when in spa mode, it will drain back into pool. Builders in Texas add that extra return in spa when it...

    Rolled Edge Spa

    Here is view of my rolled edge wall that has spill way. I think you could do a rolled edge on your Spillway wall but it would be entirely underwater since your Spillway wall is lower than the rest of the spa walls.

    Rolled Edge Spa

    This is my sisters rounded edge spa. Spill way is more like you want but not as wide open.
