Hi all, happy new owner of a pool in our new house. Previous owners built it in 2017. Couple questions as pools are a bit more complicated since the last time my family owned one. First, the pumps, spillway, filter pump, etc. are controlled by an aqua link and set on a schedule. We have a hot tub that spills into the pool and a negative edge below that. Pool is 50k gallons and around 1100 sq ft of surface area. I’m still using the schedule I inherited which has the spillway on from 6:00am-6:00pm, filter pump from 08:00am-5:00pm, cleaner on from 10:00am-1:00pm, and the waterfall on for 5 mins in the middle of the day. Is the spillway/filter pump running the correct amount of time? Or was this a summer type schedule? Any reason to run the waterfall for 5 mins every day?
Next question is pertaining to a light we have inside the pool pump enclosure. I can’t see to find a way to turn it on and I’m wondering if it is a heat lamp for freezing temps? Does it automatically come on if so?
Third question, we are about to have our first light freeze next week. Anything I need to do with running the pumps during the cold weather or let them run their normal cycle?
Thanks in advance, Rex. ps if I put this in the wrong sub forum please feel free to move it.
