We think the pool and back
yard are one of main features that make this one the nicest houses in
Maricopa
Please Note- The pool man "Chris" comes on Monday's and will come and go via the back gate without warning
Pool equipment area
Everything is automatic and does not need to be touched
The pump runs daily from ~8-5
Please let Dave or Jan know if you see any large amounts of water
anywhere.
The pool can be heated by natural gas. Please make arrangements if you will need the gas heat.
5 foot deep with PebbleTec bottom surface
Please ignore the pool sweeper. Do not remove it from the pool or
damage to the equipment may occur. Be sure to observe theat it is moving
around the bottom during the day. Sometimes it may suck up a wayward
golf ball or other debris. Just pull it up by its hose and check the
inlet on the bottom.
We decide to switch the pool to
Salt Water in 2022.
Here's pool man Chris adding 80lb of salt.
The salt level is so low that you cannot taste it and it does not hurt
your eyes. It is easier on your skin and saves $ on chlorine tablets.
Here is Chris' $300 salt meter confirming the salt level needed for this pool. Five benefits of Salt Water pools
Gas Heat lock
and Waterfall Switch inside pool box
Feel free to use the waterfall, switch on and off on the left.
Please turn off when you depart.
If you wish to use the gas heat,
contact Dave
There is an extra charge for gas heat and it is
required that you cover the pool with the bubble cover to prevent night
heat loss.

Natural Gas Pool Heater Control
1) Use the mode switch to select "Pool"
2) Use "temp set" to set to ideal 86F
We have seen that the pool will heat in a day if you switch the timer to
run all night. But it all depends on the time of the year.

Installers putting the finishing touches on the new solar pool heater
roof panels.
We expect that this addition will extend swimming pool water temps for
comfortable swimming in March/April and October/November.
Solar pool heat control panel.
It is set to turn on the roof collectors as soon as it is warm on the roof and should need no maintenance.
Here is the bubble cover
It is unrolled from the roller and spread out over the pool
surface.
It really works, it is bulky and cantankerous but it saves the heat.
Another view of the roller assembly and cover.
It doesn't have to be perfect but it saves the night heat loss from roughly October to March. Please obtain permission before using the bubble cover.
