Just wanted to confirm a few things on my pool. Here's the setup:
Here's what I've figured out:
1. Pool drain
2. Pool skimmer 1
3. Pool skimmer 2
4. Spa drain
A. Spa return
B. Pool returns (booster connected here, not used because I have robot)
C. Spa jets
For daily pool skimming, I use what you see: Spa drain is off (4) and spa spills into pool when pump is running. All pool drains open (1-3). For returns, pool and spa are open (A&B). Jets are off (C). Booster pump is always off.
If I was using spa (and had a heater), I would reverse drains and only open spa (4) and only return via jets (C).
Sound right?
- The spa heater was eliminated by previous owner.
- There is a spillover from spa to pool.
- If the spa drain is open and the system is off, the spa level will lower a foot or so.
