Operating living room TV- use the small Roku remote as the main remote. Feel free to login to your personal accounts for Netflix, Amazon, Music Apps, etc on the TV but remember to sign out when you leave. If you would like to watch cable, select the Cable Box “App” (NOT Live TV) with the roku remote and then switch to the spectrum remote. Volume is on the right side of the roku remote. (If the cable box remote is not responding, after you select Cable Box and the TV is on, with the spectrum remote- Press and hold the Blue menu button and the “3” at the same time until it blinks red several times, about 5 seconds, and it should work!).
Pool
Note about the Heated POOL in Winter months:
The Pool is programmed to stay around 90 degrees in the winter. If it gets extremely cold outside (in to the 40s and below) The heater may not be able to keep the temperature up and the pool heater may shut off. Please note that it is not a hot tub and will not maintain a comfortable temperature on really cold days. If the pool heater shuts off due to extreme cold, It may take up to 2 days for the pool to come back up to 90 degrees because of the amount of water that has to heat back up. If for any reason the pool seems like it needs attention, please message us.
