Thanks for the reply! You were right about doing your own test. So I bought one and my neighbor (also getting a pool and uses same aquaphor) went and had his tested. That .3 ppm reading I got was bogus. We have between .005 to .01 PPM iron. Which I would think is too small to worry about for...

I have a new pool about to be plastered. Current estimate is about 56k gallons. Water trucks aren't cheap around here. I don't want to pay 5kish in water if I can help it. I have a larger than average well-pump on it. Great pressure. I can run 5 sprinkler heads on my irrigation and easily...

Ok I'm with ya now then. If that is the case... That would be another return coming into VS if I switched it up. Will ask.

Drain is coming back too isn't it? Doesn't it have to be tied in there somewhere? (might need to clean off some dirt tomorrow and see what I can figure out) I'll ask about losing the extra pump. Thanks

I'm assuming I would need this valve setup you mention if I got rid of the dedicated pump doing spillover etc. and used one VS pump for everything? For now as it is all plumbed and I won't be using that spillover all the time I was just going to leave as is? I have 6 Jets in the Spa. Here is...

Booster is for cleaner. Will have a VS for pool filter etc. Is be another 2hp to control the 2 spillways.

2 of the closest trees are going down and they look closer than they are but yea... i live in the forest. When I bought this house this entire area was woods. Took be 2 years to cut them all down (70 some trees). Turned it into lawn for 5 years or so and now its going pool. No idea on...

Showing inside now... here are the two returns? on the long side of pool across from spa. One pipe is feeding these (that is it for this wall / side). You can also see the deepend light / returns at far end: This is opposite side. You can see 2 skimmer areas, the swim out in deep end, a...
