Water Features, Aeration, and Spillovers

Spillovers, laminars, bubblers, deck jets, and fountains change evaporation, pH drift, and runtime strategy.

Use this when
  • Spillovers, laminars, bubblers, deck jets, and fountains change evaporation, pH drift, and runtime strategy.
You'll need
  • pH
Stop and escalate if
  • Do not leave a feature running by habit if it creates pH drift you then fight with acid all week
FAI QUESTO PER PRIMO

Treat aerated features as chemistry variables that raise pH and increase evaporation before running them by habit.

1

Treat features as chemistry variables

Expect aerated features to raise pH and increase evaporation.

2

Use feature runtime intentionally

A feature may need different runtime rules than the main filtration loop.

3

Inspect feature hardware early

Inspect fittings, valves, and nozzles for early signs of failure.

Mixed-brand automation, heaters, and winterization

Use the mixed-brand control guide when water-feature scenes, pumps, valves, and freeze response are split across brands.

Manufacturer manuals and model-family index

Use the family index to identify the right pump, automation, and valve families before changing feature schedules or winterization steps.

Manual library

Open the manual library first when you want pinned feature, pump, and automation manuals instead of generic vendor pages.
