The water source system is not directly connected with swimming pool system.

The rusty water I am getting from the bore well is sedimenting in the tank on the roof - no continuous water addition - just one-time batch - settling ca. 3 days, then emptied thru the system of gravitation sand filters (5 pcs, shown #1 - 5 in green) and kept in the storage tank for house and swimming pool demand:




Swimming pool has its own re-circulation system, fed from a OverFlow tank and partly 50/50 also from pool bottom outlet (good for sucking the fine dust at the pool bottom). The OF tank is kept filled in to a certain low level. What is pumped out will come back again by the OF channel.

The minimum water level in the OF tank is supervized against dry pump run by a swim switch interrupting the pump. That's, however, does not normally occur. When I see time by time that the water is nearing to the minimum I add water directly into pool, until seeing that the water flows over the edge into the (open) OF channel and the level in OF tank is OK.

It's not good to fill the OF tank too high: Once it's rainy, the tank is very fast overfilled by the water coming from pool in the ratio of their surface areas (if the pool 40m2 gets 5 cm precipitation, the OF tank 2m2 will increase its level 40/2=20 x 5cm = 1m high. So, a lot of water overflows away from OF tank - if the OF is thought on - pity of the good water.


That's my Hi-Tech machine room:



Advantage of an open OF channel: well overviewed and good for keeping the sucking hose for the vacuum cleaning - always full of water, immediately ready to suck (after the correct valve is open):
