Good morning in Atlanta area and thinking about the big freeze like every other person. Because I have a auto cover I have my freeze protection configured for normal freezing conditions of 40+ during day and 30 or so at night. Meaning I don’t have my spillover (on main pump spa to pool) or...

Agree with all above. I'm in Atlanta and just went through my first summer with my SWG and it was maintenance free as far as the chlorine other than trying to find the sweet spot for % generation. I ran the % up just a tad before the cold weather and just added my first liquid colorine this...

I have a similar scenario and have been floating my chlorine level down all winter here in Georgia and the pool and spa are at about 5 ppm. I ran it up right before winter to about 10 intentionally. However I thought the SWG would not operate if the water temperature is below 60F so I have it...

Thanks. Found it. The lowest temp setting Jandy allows is 34 which is what I set it for which seems better than 38 for 2" plumbing is more than fine. I need to somehow change my Filter Pump to not = Spillover then I will be able to alternate between Pool and Spa and close my cover in the...

There is an anti backflow between the pool and the hose bib fill. Not sure if you can see it on the picture but it’s in line on the manual fill line. Ok I’ll test your assumption and report back. Thx.

Correct. It appears not much was thought through and he admits this is the first pool with an automatic cover. Here is the top view of the equipment. I can add check valves of course. I am having some additional automation added to the pool deck bubblers that are manual now. What problem...

This is an interesting thread. My Jandy Aqualink system is set so that freeze protection is set for spillway only. I would like to modify it so that it sequences to spa then pool then spa etc and since I have 2” plumbing lower the temp. In Georgia I imagine I only need it to turn on at 28...

Yes we have the Jandy Aqualink. In a further update PB called today to say that the Freeze protection cannot remove the spillover so the cover cannot be completely closed in the winter. (We are in the Atlanta GA area so last night it kicked in and it turns on in the winter it seems about 1x a...

Thanks yes. Agree. It’s pretty stable over the winter and the SWG is basically shut down and pool using stored chlorine at this point. It’s just annoying since we must run the spillway to mix in the summer which is a manual operation to open the pool a bit, lose some stored heat etc...

Relatively new pool owner here trying to complete a pool set up and build. The pool has been running since July but the builder is still finishing various items on patio etc. Equipment: Jandy with cartridge filter. Single Variable Speed Pump Pool & Spillover Spa Automatic Cover on Pool...

The weeping is not under the tiles in this case its between the concrete and the guinite but to your point its not going to improve over time and we wont know whats going on once the lid is on the automatic cover area. I will address it with him on Monday and go from there.

Thanks Allen so clearly they didn't do this so now what? Rip out all the tile and do it over? And if they didn't do it on the tanning ledge they didn't use any type of waterproofing under the glass tile anywhere in the pool would me my bet. Here comes the "this is the way we always do it...

We are towards the end of construction of our guinite pool. 5 weeks post fill and waiting for our automatic cover to be installed so at the end of our pool (see photo) we have a well where this cover will go. During construction guinite was shot then they came back and constructed the “steps”...

I am nearing the end of my build. I have glass water line tile, automatic pool cover rails, then stone coping. The automatic cover rails sit right on the guinite and the glass tiles underneath. However there is a seam between--maybe 1/8 of an inch. I asked the tile team if that should have...

perfect. I sent the PB an email asking. will report back. :)

yes thanks for the clarification..it is a remote automation system either from one from the system or from a smartphone. So yes exactly what you are describing above. Are there specific Pentair models we should be asking for? I am not sure we will use the pool year round in Atlanta but it...

We have 6 kids--all grown and two grand daughters from one of our sons. Soon more will come. We just couldnt do Boston winter any longer

Thanks! We are very excited. Doubtful on the grandkids...the entire family of 14 aunts and uncles cousins etc are in Boston area. There is an expectation that we go there :) if we want to see them...we have a grand daughter yet to meet due to COVID and a neurotic daughter in law.

When I asked how the heater will work they said that the spa and the pool temperature controlled separately. Meaning I can shut down the pool for the winter and just heat the spa on demand. Not heat the pool to heat the spa. What do you mean what kind of automation? Temperature, lights...

Hi we are in Atlanta metro and embarking on a new pool project. We have a design we like and a builder...but still have lots to refine before our construction starts in about 30 days. We are an adult couple (50's) with no children at home. Grandkids 1000 miles away. So this pool is for us...
