🏊🔥Pool heating note: The pool is heated by a heat pump. During colder weather, especially when outdoor temperatures dip below ~50°F, heat pumps may not be able to reach or maintain the set temperature as they normally do.
🌴Florida nature note: Because we’re in Florida’s warm, subtropical climate, it’s normal to occasionally see small lizards or other common outdoor pests. We have regular pest control, but they can sometimes get inside—especially if doors are left open. They’re harmless.
