How does a hot tub pool combo work?
Spillover spas are hot tubs that connect directly to your pool through a small curtain or fountain of water. This water moves directly from the jacuzzi into the swimming pool, spilling over a ledge or a series of ledges.
Can you heat up a pool with a spa pump?
Can’t imagine trying to heat a spa without isolating it from the pool… you not only don’t want pool water feeding into your pump (so closing off pool valves and opening the spa drain valve that go in to the pump is right) but you want to be sure that instead of water returning to the pool it is supplying the spa.
Is it possible to use a hot tub without heat?
You can use a hot tub without heat, but do not cut power to the hot tub. You need the pump circulating the water through the filters to ensure proper water quality. Switching the mode to economy or sleep will reduce heating cycles and lower the temperature by as much as 20 degrees. But that’s just the beginning!
What’s the best way to heat up a pool?
In front of pump there are 3 valves: Pool main drain, pool skimmer and spa main drain. In order to heat the water, should I close the 2 pool valves and open the spa main drain valve?

How does a hot tub pool heater work?
The majority of heat loss in a pool or spa system flows from the uncovered surface of a pool or spa. A component of the temperature control system that limits the temperature of water in the heater – no higher that 140 degrees in most. A method of heating in which water temperatures are raised only when the pool or spa is going to be used.

Where does the heat come from in a hot tub?
The natural drop in water temperature as heat is transferred to the surrounding air. The majority of heat loss in a pool or spa system flows from the uncovered surface of a pool or spa. A component of the temperature control system that limits the temperature of water in the heater – no higher that 140 degrees in most.
