Pool light and waterfall controls are located on the backside of the house/ FENCE. We appreciate your care in turning off pool
lights, waterfall and hot tub when not in use. To heat the hot tub, switch control to the spa setting. When the control is
switched back to pool setting, the hot water in the hot tub overflows back into the pool. Keep in mind, this will heat
the pool up which is desirable in cooler months but not in summer months. Use the heating controls at your discretion.
However, if you should overheat the hot tub and want to cool it down, switch the control to pool briefly as the cooler
pool water will circulate into the hot tub and bring the temperature down quickly.
The pool has cleaning devices that pop up from bottom these need to be left in place. Cleaning goes on and off by a timer.
Additional Patio chairs and umbrella are stored in the garage. You can change the color of lights in the pool by turning the switch
on- then off and on again quickly. This will make the lights rotate color. To stop the rotation on a preferred color- switch off and
on again quickly to lock on the color you prefer.
Pool/Waterfall Warning – There can be no climbing on or jumping from the rocks of the waterfall. All guests must stay off of
this area. Life jackets are supplied and required for children and adults must accompany them while swimming.
