6. Plumbing for Pool and Spa
Combination
The following plumbing diagrams illustrate simplified
versions of standard plumbing setups for a pool and
spa that share the same filter pump, filter, and heater.
The intake and return JVA’s turn simultaneously so
when the spa button is pressed on the AquaLink
®
RS
control panel, water circulation switches between pool
and spa (consult the
Jandy Valve Actuator Installation
and Operation Manual
to ensure that the JVA’s are
synchronized and rotate properly). Please consult the
Jandy Valve
®
Plumbing Manual for further examples of
pool/spa plumbing.
NOTE
When the filter system is shared (a pool/spa
combo), the spa water must be able to overflow
back to the pool.
WARNING
Flow rates must never exceed the manufacturer’s
flow maximums for any suction fittings or skimmers.
Additional fixed adjustment valve(s) or flow restrictors
may need to be installed. Exceeding manufacturer’s
recommended flow rates may cause serious personal
injury or death.
IMPORTANT
To avoid potential hazard to the user, the United
States Consumer Products Safety Commision has
determined that the temperature of the water at
the INLET to a pool or spa must not exceed 122°F
(50°C).
NOTE
The water in a spa should never exceed
104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F
(38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for
a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
