This is a 'Water Feature' at my new house and pool. It stands by itself but it is plumbed into the pool. It has a separate manually switched pump that also controls three waterfalls into my pool. IMO this is a horrible thing to do. This feature sits and gets plant debris etc. plus there's no cleaning going on and the surface is just painted concrete. My big concern is I'm going to be constantly batteling this thing to keep algae out of my pool. Since it mixes water from to pool and the fountain.
Eventually I will most likely isolate this with it's own pump, or just demo it, as I'm not that fond of it. Since we just moved and I have two other major construction projects to get through it will probably be at least a year until I can get to it. I don't want to tie the pump for this to the main timer as the waterfalls and fountain cause the PH to jump up quickly. So for I've just been trying to run it for an hour or two every day or so just to keep water circulating. Any other thoughts?
