What happens is that I change the valve in the 1st picture and the blue tank immediately starts to go lower, the pool fills up and flows over the sides into the trough, but then the blue tank starts to fill up again from the water inlet, after about 5 mins, a little bit of water starts to come out of the exit pipe and keeps coming out. Edit: also, when someone dives into the pool and sloshes water off the negative edge, the trough catches everything but then a whole load of water comes out of the blue tank's escape pipe.

New place has an infinity pool - however, there seems to be a problem with the water overflowing out of the big tank. There is a big blue tank that is about 1.5m wide x 1m tall that has a ball valve in it like in a toilet. Then there is the pump and a smaller red filter, which I assume is the sand filter. As soon as you fill the system up with too much water, the water just starts running out of the overflow valve from the blue tank. I have left it on circulation for the moment. Do you have any ideas what I should do? What does the blue tank do, do I need to isolate this from the rest and just have it running from the red sand filter? Edit: I turned a valve and that seemed to self fill (blue tank has mains water inlet) so the inifnity started but there is still a tiny amount of water flowing out of the exit valve onto the street below. Also, the pool is not infinity at one edge of the pool - is there a way to make the water flow in faster so that enough water is flowing in to make it 100% infinity?

Any ideas? Might it need a new heating element - how can I check? Currently takes about 10 hours to heat it up from 22 to 38 whether in On / normal heating mode.

We have a spa, which is a Campeche model by system pools (about 5 years old). It seems to be heating fairly slowly at present - any ideas on what could cause that? It seems to take around 5 hours to only movefrom 24oC to 30oC. The standby mode heats the water once a day or as necessary in the program functions. When you turn on one of the pumps, bubbles, light, or CD, it is supposed to be in On mode and the heater functions ad hoc but it doesn't seem to heat any quicker than standby mode.
