- Understanding pool valves with spa and vacuum.
This intro to swimming pool valves is for new pool owners or anyone that wants an overview of what all the valves in a pool and spa setup are for. I cover the automatic pool cleaner, as well as how to set the valves up for spa use. Thanks for watching!
Good job. I am a pool technician and couldn't have exsplained this better. Once you understand water in and water out the rest will make sense.
Thanks for the kind feedback! I had a lot to learn, still do.
@@renaissancelaboratories5645 yes sir the industry is always changing so always new stuff to learn.
This is the only part of training I’m struggling with. But I’m starting to pick it up.
This is by far absolutely the best tutorial on the pool basics and how to simply utilize the different valves and understand clearly the intake and outflow of water to the pool. I’m a new pool owner as well so this was really on point. Thank you very much and I look forward to reviewing more of your videos. Your communication was clear, concise, and you repeat it, the important points to assure that they were understood. Thank you again very very much.
One of the best tutorials that make it easy to figure out your pool's plumbing puzzle, thank you.
This is the best tutorials for beginners. Thank you.
Best walk through I’ve seen, thank you so much!!!!
Very grateful to have benefited from your video sir. Second season on my new pool and after watching your video I get it now thanks to you. I don’t speak pool technician very well and I’m sure he is as frustrated with my questions as I am. 😂 🙏🏻
Nice and Simple Great Job. Always wanted to learn.
Great and informative! The Chart was PLUS!👊🏽😎
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your demonstration. Very well detailing. It helps me solve my spa and pool system. I mark everything, and everything starts to get easy. Thank you again.
That is great! Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much! Very detailed and easy to understand, i finally understand what i was doing wrong
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Everything in front to the pump is suction on the side is return that way is simple to learn
Thank-you!!
Awesome video that helped me understand how all these plumbing works. Thank you.
I'm glad you found it useful!
Clearly and smart explanation, thanks.
I saw in some video where the direction of your valve adjustments should always be in the same direction, even if you miss your mark, go all the way around again. This helps with the wear of the valve adjustment mechanism.
U should add that when you turn the valve, u need to be cognizant of where the “OFF” is when u are actively turning the valve and make sure it doesn’t go in front of the pipe directly into the pump bc it will “deadhead” the pump. Same thing in the return side, u don’t want the OFF be turned in front of the pipe coming from the heater and towards the return valves bc it will stop the water flowing.
If u are new, i recommend turning off the pump while moving the valves until u are more confident in moving the valves. And once everything is moved, then turn the pump back on…
Man you absolutely great very educational and helpful more so than my builder you saved my day thanks a million million
Glad to hear it, and thank you for watching!
Awesome! Marking the flow in the pool is essential! Now I know! Where can I get a copy of your diagram?
Thank you. This video is just what i needed!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Best explanation thanks!
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Awesome explanation!
Thank you so much for your video and explanation. It is very helpful. I am a new user and want to install a jacuzzi. It's got 2 pumps, 1 filter, 1 heater and 1 blower. Please can you assist me on how to go about to install everything and explain why it's got 2 pumps. I also needs to know where and how do I connect the buttons on top of the jacuzzi. I'm not sure but I suppose, one button is for the bubbles(water) throuht the jets and the other for extra airflow.
excellent video exactly what i needed. Thanks
Glad it helped! I felt like there was so much to learn.
Question #1….how were you able to determine the “main drain” valve?
There were remnants of some labels that helped me to narrow things down. You can briefly try to reduce or close one valve at a time once you have an educated guess, to help identify. Just be mindful of flow so that you don’t completely cut off suction. Best of luck!
Great video. I'm not sure if I missed it, but when would you turn on either the spa floor drain or the pool floor drain? If you have a separate pump for your spa, does that make it a separate loop?
What happens when you don’t have a heater?
Great explanation!!
But I like to ask you something?
I understanding very well how the valves worked, butt I can't understanding how you are cleaning the filter?? The filter is cleaning the water, butt it is necessary to clean the filter also and how it's build it's not possible.
It's more than that, it's dangerous!
I am very confused; why are there no automated valves? Are you expecting the owner to keep switching it back and forth
automation systems cost 2500 and up
Would it be possible to get a copy of your diagrams?? Thanks so much.
If the water coming in and out of the heater is the same and only directed which way to go by the exterior valves. Why does the heater have a Pool and Spa mode?
I checked the documentation. The heater has two thermostats so you can leave the dials set at different desired temperatures. It’s for convenience, since you commonly would set the spa temp higher than pool temp. Hope that is helpful.
automation controls systems
I need help identifying my valves, we had new ones put in and our pool isnt running properly. I will pay you.
Hello, can you tell me what causes the water in the SPA to go down below the jets as soon as the motor stops.
When to motor starts the water will begin to overflow, maybe there’s an adjustment that I have to make.
Thanks
is you spa level with pool ? how fare are your pumps from spa and pool?
Thanks great job 🥰👍👏.
I’m glad you found it helpful!
Great explanation, thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
We just bought a house with a pool, and what should we have running all the time. I skim with the skimmer pole it and cannot get all the Nats out. It seems to be very dirty. Should I put the bubble and skimmer on?
Hello. I have a pool vacuum and the spa, so your setup may be different. Think of the water flow as a circuit or circular motion. I have all my bottom drains turned off. This way the water moves across the top of the spa, across the top of the pool, pushing all the floating debris to the simmer basket, and eventually into the filter, and back to the pool. The only exception is that some of the flow also goes to the pool vacuum, which cleans the bottom of the pool. Hope this helps!
Good job. New pool owner here as well, what does “normal” mode look like? (Anybody can answer)
Thanks for watching. “Normal” mode for me is really “clean” mode where the vacuum is running around the pool many hours every day.
We swim with that setup as well, but I suppose a version of normal would be with the vacuum out. At that point you could open the floor drains and use skimmer & floor drains for circulation and decide if you want the spa in the loop or not. Hope that helps!
Is it safe to turn any of those valves (that are not on the filter), with the pump running? Or is it best to turn off the pump like you would when turning the valve on the big filter? I noticed you did it while running the pump for the cleaner, but maybe thats the exception ? Thanks!
It’s safest to turn the valves with the pump off, but with experience you can turn some valves with the pump running. The most important piece is to understand the flow. The risk is you could break vacuum and pull air into the system or cut off water flow completely. Either of those will over stress the pump. Whenever turning a valve with the pump running, I do it very slowly and keep an eye on flow and an ear on the pump RPM. Thanks for watching!
Rockstar!
Thank you. This helped me
I usually turn skimmer on to vacuum but yesterday I noticed is not working can u help with any tip? Is not suctioning
If you have an automatic pool cleaning vacuum, check to be sure it's not clogged. Disconnect the vacuum hose somewhere close to the pool wall and see if there is suction. Also, mine works like a very simple clockwork type of mechanism with gears and a paddle inside. Sometimes a stick or something can get in there and it won't move around. Best of luck, I'm interested to know if you solved it!
Nice video
Thank you, glad it was helpful!
Great explanation. Don't laugh, but I really also wanted to see your setup when in normal ops. Do you keep the spa drain off in normal ops?
Yes, I leave the spa drain closed. This forces water to flow across the top of the spa, and out of the small waterfall spout into the pool. The purpose of this is so floating debris can get pulled into the pool skimmer. I hope that was clear, it would make more sense if you saw a picture. thanks for watching!
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful.
My spa constantly drains when we c put it in spa mode? Why?
do you have automated valves

Confusing in n out
Inconsistent use of 'in' and 'out' terminology!
IRRITATING!
Very fair feedback, I’ll be more careful. Thanks for watching.
