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

- Do not leave a feature running by habit if it creates pH drift you then fight with acid all week
Treat aerated features as chemistry variables that raise pH and increase evaporation before running them by habit.

pH
Treat features as chemistry variables
Expect aerated features to raise pH and increase evaporation.
Use feature runtime intentionally
A feature may need different runtime rules than the main filtration loop.
Inspect feature hardware early
Inspect fittings, valves, and nozzles for early signs of failure.

Pool anatomy systems
Use the broader pool anatomy guide when water-feature scenes, pumps, valves, and freeze response need a wider map.
Manual library
Use the manual library 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.
