How does the hot tub heat up?

There is a dial with a red label on the outside wall. Turn it past 10 and wait about 60 seconds. You’ll see the jets start to bubble. After a few minutes, you’ll be able to feel the heat coming out of the jets. It will get warmer as you use it. The hot tub will only heat up if you have ordered hot tub heat. When the hot tub jets are ON - all the heat goes to the Hot Tub (none goes to the pool until you turn off the jets) When using the hot tub, the pool water will not be heating at all until the hot tub stops heating (when the jets are off)

Where is the pool light?

There is a dial on the INSIDE wall by the sliding door in the main room- to the left, behind the curtain. Turn it on at night when you are using the pool.

Can the guests adjust the pool settings?

No. Please call 407-792-4631 if you have any questions on the pool equipment or need adjustments. The pool will only heat if you have ordered pool heat.

Where are the pool towels?

There are pool towels the laundry room. They are colorful towels. Please do not take these towels off the property.

POOL CLEANING:

You will see someone cleaning the pool one day each week. They may ask you to briefly exit the pool while they clean. This is to keep the pool sanitary, and we ask that you allow them to clean when they arrive. If you refuse cleaning when the service arrives, it may result in a $40 rescheduling charge to you.
If you know of a day you do not want to be disturbed while at the pool, please notify your host at the time of booking so we can make other arrangements.
If you notice the water level of the pool is getting low (below the 3 ft marking) please call 407-792-4631 or you may fill with the hose for about 1 hour. Be sure to turn the hose completely off when it gets to the middle of the 3 ft mark, even if the time is on.

Pool and Hot Tub Heat: Answers to common questions...

The heater goes on at 8am in the morning and the pool water will start close to whatever the outdoor temperature is .... so it will take a couple hours to heat up each day.
Generally, it takes an hour to heat the entire pool by 1 degree, but the sunshine and warmer daytime air will speed up the heating process each day.
Likewise, if it's a cool day, it could take longer for the pool to heat up.
If it's below 60 degrees outside, the pool heater (heat pump) may not heat the pool.
The hot tub heats much quicker than the pool.
It also takes some time for the pool to cool down at night, so you can continue to enjoy your heated pool for a while after the 12-hour period.
Additionally, the hot tub heated water spills over into the pool water so it tends to be warmer close to the hot tub.
You can adjust the 12 hours for POOL heat - it's usually 8am - 8pm but you can change it to the 12-hour period you want by letting me know in advance.
The hot tub will stay hot only on the days the pool is heated. If your pool heat is set for 8am - 8pm, and you want to use the hot tub at 11pm it will still heat up - just give it about 20 minutes to reach the full temperature.
The pool is usually set for 82 degrees and the hot tub is set for 102 degrees. This 20-degree difference will make the pool water feel cooler in comparison to the hot tub. I can monitor the pool temperature remotely and can adjust if needed.
If you have pool heat questions, or if you want a temperature adjustment, please call me when you are at the house. Do not try to adjust the pool equipment.
