    Can I split suction between raised spa and pool to run at lower RPM without spillover?

    I have a Jandy aqualink RS system and a Jandy VSP. I have to run the VSP at 2600RPM to get the spillway to clear the coping below which means a 3.5hr turnover. I'm pretty sure the valves in "Pool Mod" are set to only pull water from the pool floor/filter basket, eg, no water is being removed...

    Replacement framing tiles for spa spillway?

    The two framing stone (side pieces) of the spa spillway connecting to my pool fell off. I want to replace with new ones. I'm honestly not sure where to go to look for replacements. It appears to be a natural stone, size 3x12" roughly. Pool deck is continual flagstone pavers. I'm in central NJ...

    Hi there! We are currently building our pool and they are setting the flagstone for our three spillways. Can you tell me: - What is the ideal overhang amount would be? - Should the spillway be flat/level, angled towards the pool or angled towards the spa/hot tub? Any other advice is...

    Infinity edge noise levels

    Hello everyone! I want to say that this forum has been really helpful for me and gives me confidence in pool ownership! But, now I have an odd question that just occurred to me that I can't get a straight answer on. How loud are your infinity edges? I know that some people seem to like a full...

    Elevated spa drains to spa jets level when pool pump turns off

    I have an in-ground pool with an 18" elevated spa that has a spillway into the pool. To achieve independent water circulation in the spa I set the all return and drain lines to fully open. A small amount of water trickles over the spillway which I am ok with rather than potentially the spa...

    Spillway

    It's beautiful, but it's a horrible design as someone could fall in and get seriously hurt. What kind of renovation could I do to fix this? Suggestions so far: 1. A Grate: The ground is not level so the grate would not fit properly. 2. Netting: Nets would take away some of the aesthetics of the...

    Spa Spillway Design - too late to correct this PB mistake?

    Hello, We're in the build process and our large free form spa was designed to have a "negative edge" spillway into the pool. The plan was to tile the surface of the spillway (top), and stone veneer the entire outer wall of the spa. This will be a salt water pool with a separate spa pump. The...

    Bonding metal scuppers really necessary?

    I have a recently built gunite pool with raised spa. The spa has 2 spillovers that are currently tiled inside with no lip. The spillway water has a nice arc, but also dribbles and saturates the stone face of the spa. Now I’d like to buy and install copper spillway scuppers to better sheet the...

    New Construction - Ideas for Spillway

    We are currently building a pool and spa and just completed shotcrete. We have two 12" spillway openings from the spa to the pool that will allow the water to descend about 24". We had originally thought we were not going to add anything to the spillway opening besides the waterline tile...

    Spillway needed or not with Magic Falls on spa wall?

    I’m in construction and everyone says I will need a spillway for my attached spa. Won’t the spa water blend/filter with pool water through the drain/infloor? One of the spa/pool walls will have a magic waterfall going into the pool. I can add a spillway on the other wall but prefer not to if...

    Spa spillway advice

    We are troubleshooting an issue with our new pool in Texas, built by Anthony & Sylvan. We have a tiled spillway and when we turn up the pump speed we get a nice sheer flow and it doesn't run down the split face stone. However, in the daytime when we aren't using the pool the pump is on low for...
