Though we aim to maintain the heated pools (check listing page to confirm if this listing includes a heated or unheated pool) at 80°F (for ambient temperatures above 60°F), please note that we can not guarantee pool temperatures; a heated pool does not imply that the pool will feel hot to touch, as weather and subjective perception vary. Likewise, the spa (if offered at this listing) is typically inoperable during freezing temperatures. Should you require any further assistance with the pool or its operation, feel free to message me.
Please DO NOT remove any pool monitoring or cleaning devices from the pool (moving it to one side of the pool underwater out of the way is ok), as it will malfunction outside of water; the replacement cost is roughly $600 for a new unit...
NOTE that the pool heater runs during pool pump periods on a preset timer; as per our pool manager's recommendation, we do not run the pump continuously>>
This home is recommended for swimmers only>>
