spa and pool

Our PB says that we won't be able to use auto pool cover if we do a rolled edge (this is the image of the rolled edge I shared with the PB) for the spa (spa is inside the pool perimeter). The PB said that the rolled edge does not allow for room under the coping for the cover track. Instead, they...

Pool guy replaced the sand in my filter over the weekend and put my pool back in auto. Now the spa level seems an inch or two higher than usual, the waterfall feature is way thicker and the water is spilling out of the spa under the coping and on to the pool deck. We're expecting a short freeze...

I'm planning on starting the construction of a pool with flush spa during the upcoming weeks. The current plan is to use a single Intellifo3 pump and Intellichlor SWG for the water circulation/chlorination. The attached diagram shows the planned pool/spa piping and valve diagram. One of the...

Hi. I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I am having with my SPA slowly draining into the pool, but I am also just trying to learn more about the purpose of the different pipes connected to my pool. I believe the SPA draining might be caused by the valve handle on the return line pointing in a...

Or can it support a pool and a spa? At some point, I will likely convert my hydrogen peroxide pool to chlorine, but for now, my spa is regular chlorine, so I want to start using pool math as soon as I get the test kit.

Need help to change the Spa light control to different Aux. I have a color changing pool light but my Spa light is steady warm colored. The previous owner had the spa light configured in the Solar switch on easy touch control panel. I recently installed solar pool heater and now the Spa lights...

Hi all, I posted here back in November with my design and received really great feedback. I created the design myself using Pool Studio and provided the build plans to the PB. I acted as my own GC and managed all the sub-contracting for the patio, pool deck, electrical, mechanical and...

EDIT: I think I've narrowed down the problem. See bottom of post. I have a poolside spa that shares pump and plumbing with the in-ground pool. Normally water flows over the edge of the spa and into the pool. When the pool pump turns off, the spa remains full of water, as it should. When the spa...

7/14/22 update - free upgrades!?! (upgraded sheer and filter) 7/8/22 update - Spa jet upgrade (ParaJets) 6/30/22 update - We're under contact! --- Orignal Post tl;dr Long time lurker trying to decide between two similar designs/quotes and looking for outsider opinions on the designs as well as...

Hi All, I am looking for some advice here. I just got a new fiberglass pool installed with built in hot tub. The contractor turned on the systems for the first time on Friday, and honestly I was very disappointed with the results in the hot tub (the pool was perfectly fine). Issue: The jets have...

We are looking to resurface our pool and add an in pool jacuzzi in one of the corners. We want to lay out new decking and coping in sandblasted marble. We are also looking to expand our deck over what is currently an area with grass. Does anyone know of a reputable and honest pool person in the...

So I wanted to share with TFP crowd my new favorite automation added to my pool system. I found out about this when trying to locate a replacement for the spa control that is unreadable and partially working , an old SPALINK® RS 8-FUNCTION. So when searching on Ebay for a lower priced unit I...

Hi all , getting a long list of suggestions from inspector and am a bit confused on what to do. Context: - we have a broken heater - the connected spa has a weak motor and is leaking - the plaster is old and can be prickly - pipes and valves are old but working Questions: - inspector...

Hi folks, I am about 9 months into my pool build/landscape remodel (lots of unforeseen delays) and we are finally chugging along. Pool is fairly simple - a rectangular pool with a large spa taking up one entire end. From about a week ago: For tile, we chose a 6x12 porcelain for the main...

I just had my pool converted to salt and salt cell plumbed into the prior system. Cell is working fine but the way the guy did it ended up stopping pretty much altogether the flow in the spa return while running the pump in pool mode. I’ll post before and after photos below. Spa gets filled via...

Hey, long time lurker but don't post much here at TFP. I have a 15,000 gallon pool that I just converted to salt in our new home. I have a pentair DE filter, 3 HP pentair intelliflo pump that is about 7 years old, and just installed an IC40 salt cell with power center. My PB put in the check...

This is our very first pool and our very first quote. We’re in the process of getting more quotes but does this look like a quality setup? Anything we should ask about changing? We’re going to be changing out the travertine for pavers, but everything else we thought was okay. We think the quote...

I am a new pool owner, please help. Within the past two days I have noticed my water features stopped working throughout the day. The features, cascade and bubbler, are typically running as long as the pool pump is functioning. On further inspection, I realized that while the pump is set to pool...
