Hi Dirk. Thanks for the thought. I never heard about the problems under those conditions but perhaps it has something to do with condensation issues when trying to heat very cold water. Who knows but something to keep in mind. Using solar blankets, my water would usually never be colder than...

Hello Ray. Sorry, I've had something keeping me away from this project over the weekend. “Back into pool mode, ha.” First, thanks for taking time to put some thoughts into my setup. The two pump setup does sound like a simpler way to plumb everything. Although I’m back to running two hydraulic...

Hello Ray. Thanks for your reply. I completely understand this is your peak time of year and your time is extremely limited. Here is some basic information on my setup. Best Option) Ideally, I would love to have the two pools and spa connected on one pump, filter, and heater. I would only...

I completely understand that this sketch-up is “conceptual” in design without any real way of knowing if it would work for sure. I’m the first to admit that my experience on this subject is limited but the design seems to make sense from a water flow standpoint. You sketched a simple, straight...

Hi CF. No, this is a spa/hot tub with all separate components. It's the type that gets sunk into the ground or into decking. It was made by a company called Polynesian Spa's but used all Jacuzzi plumbing. It had a Jacuzzi pump with 230volt 2.25hp GE motor, a Jacuzzi cartridge filter, and...

Hello poolguy. Yes, all three are exactly at the same elevation and leveled using a transit. Thank you for verifying.

@Dirk Just saw your post. Wow, this sounds (and looks) fantastic. I just have a minute right now to respond but I would really like to discuss more later. This looks like it would work great for what I need!!! One of the many things I really like about this setup is the option for an automated...

Hello CF. Thanks for your reply. I certainly agree. The two pump system would keep the water filtered and circulated. Plus it would simplify the water chemistry by operating the two pools as one, but if possible, I would like to get away from running two pumps, well I guess it would mean...

Hello Dirk. Thanks for taking the time to reply and explain that option. Sorry I have not had time to respond earlier. I certainly mean no disrespect. Man, I like the way you are thinking along the lines of balancing all three skimmers (and drains) to mix all water before the pump. Then...

Thanks for your quick reply, Mr. Bruce. I'm sorry I have not had the opportunity to do the same. You know, I never really thought we would use the spa beyond the pool season but I am starting to rethink it. If that is the case, I could definitely see a separate spa pump/filter setup. That...

Okay, a newbie here and somewhat new to a forum setting so please bear with me. :wave: I have a situation that is a head scratcher for me but perhaps not for an experienced contractor or Hydraulic Engineer. I admit this is a very unusual setup and would not be my design if I had started this...

Thought I would try a test.:eek::cool::paddle: Thanks
