How to run the pool in "normal" everyday use?

Postby rkick07 » Thu 06 Jun, 2019 14:06

Hello all, I'm seeking some help from the internet since the contractor and plumber have since disappeared on me. I have a brand new pool and for the life of me or the pool cleaning company I've hired can any of us figure out how to operate the pool and spa in a normal everyday use.

I need to be able to cycle the pool and spa at the same time, however I'm running into either overflowing the spa or draining it completely.

Anyone here have anything you can share on how I can operate this pool and spa combo on my timer without the spa either draining or overflowing?

Much appreciated!

Thanks :thumbup:

It doesn't look like you can. I can't quite make out some of the writing on the first 3 port valve on the return side.

The return has fountain valve then spa waterfall (which I don’t have)...

I’m able to maintain the spa level when the pool is on with how that setup on this pic is. However when I turn the pool off and both pumps are off the spa then begins to drain.
