Hi all,
I'll be building a pool with spa in the next several months. I've got a few questions as I move forward. I'm sure my builder can answer the question, but I'd rather get the info from unbiased folks.
My pool will be around 13K gallons.
First, I don't want to heat my pool since I'm in South Florida, yet would like to heat the spa. I'm guessing this is possible and not a big deal for the builder. So, I assume I would need a much smaller hearter for just the spa. I don't know how many gallons the spa will be but I plan on having it large enough for 6 people. Any recommendations on heaters.
Are the pool and spa's water interconnected and thus go through the same pump, filter, and chlorine generator? If so, how do I keep my "hot" water from constantly drawing in cool pool water?
I see these spas that have their water spilling into the pool (nice water feature), but doesn't that lead to a lot of wasting energy/hot water.
Any advice on building a pool spa combo would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Badger
