Yep, that is very similar to what I have. There is a s a port right under my skimmer. Thanks!

Thanks Jim. Sounds like my set up is not common. Must be why. Couldn’t find any info on it.

Hi All, I’ve searched, but I can’t seem to find any info for the proper setting of the skimmer valve on the return side. I have a 12,000 gallon pool with a spa and one skimmer. I understand the valve settings on the suction side and I have both the main drain and skimmer valve set to full open...

Spillover mode is just what I named the function. My pool pump normally runs at 1750 rpms in "pool" mode, just as your set up is (most water going to pool returns with some going to the spa). When I turn on my "spillover" mode the pump simply runs at 3450 rpms which makes the water coming over...

You can definitely program a schedule for your spillover, that's what I did for my spa (don't ask me how I did it, because I can't remember). You can also adjust the valves to get the spill over cascading water as opposed to dribbling it down the stone face, but you have to be careful to not...

We are near Denton and we paid right at $55k for the pool pictured in my avatar. The pool dimensions are similar, but we also added a spa and heater. Our equipment is Jandy (all remote controlled via app/computer), but we don't have a sanitizer. We also only did about 70 ft of flagstone decking...

Thanks for the replies!

Hi All! I'm a new pool owner in North Texas with a question about pump run times in warm climates during the off season. Here in the Dallas area we don't get a ton of below freezing days during the off season. Most pool owners that I've talked to in my area say that they don't "close" their...

When building our pool my brother, who has had 3 different pools over the years, warned me that the PBs would try and sway me to a chlorine pool. His feeling was that they did so in hopes that with a chlorine pool you would be more likely to use the PBs maintenance services instead of DIY if you...

Good to know, thanks.

T Thanks! Yeah, during the after plaster care stage they had it rolling full blast 24/7 to where it was a nice sheet of water going into the pool water. I turned the rpms down to 2200 and it flows into my into the pool, but it dribbles down the wall of the spa then into the pool. I also...

Thanks for the help guys. I have looked through the settings and am still having a tough time understanding. I downloaded the owners manual from Zodiac, but the terminology in the steps they list doesn't exactly match up with the terms in the settings, so I'm still confused? I think my best bet...

Thanks for the quick reply. So if I understand this correctly, I'm simply choosing an auxiliary setting and naming it to my liking, but it's still going to run the filter pump? And yes, I have been struggling to keep the PH down. I guess now I know why. Thanks for the help!

Hi All, Just finished building our first ever pool a month ago. I'm still waiting on the PB to finish hooking up gas to our heater, so we haven't technically had a "pool school" yet to learn how to use our equipment. However, since I plan on maintaining the pool myself I have already dug into...

Thanks for the info guys!

How often should a pool tech come by for after plaster care? Our pool finished filling a week ago yesterday. The PB sent a tech over the following day to start the pumps and start the pool up. The tech has only been by one other time, so a total of two visits in a week. I just wanted to see if...

I was thinking the same thing about the sprinklers being capped vs. rerouted. I had initially planned to handle the sprinklers myself until I saw how utterly destroyed the entire system in my backyard was after excavation. I gladly paid the $1500 they wanted to replace my sprinklers . It was...

Our plaster finished yesterday and I was watching the crew on my security cameras from my office at work. The crew packed up and left without filling the pool. I was wondering the same thing, should I call home and have my son start filling? Fortunately, I was able to get a hold of my PB and he...

Been filling with water for the last day or so. About 3” from being full. Here’s a pic from earlier in the day.

To give you an idea for prices in the DFW area, we’re almost done with our build and it came in around $56k. The pool is 31x13 (main body) and is around 11k gallons. We’re in between Denton and Lewisville.

That's pretty quick! We had rain delaying that dig, but once they dug the rain has held off. I'm not sure why they are taking so long now?

How long did it take for your build once digging commenced?

Well our pool build was humming along and then things started to slow down considerably. It took the stone masons 2 weeks for tile, coping, and a 60 sqft unideck. They would come for a day and work 3-4 hours and then not return for several days and then work another 3-4 hours. It seemed to me...

We signed with our PB in mid April and digging didn't start until almost 2 months later. It was mainly rain that caused the delays, but I think if our PB would have been a little more detailed in his note taking we could have shaved a week or two off of that. Once they started digging everything...
