I definitely did not winterize, since I'm in Central Texas and we usually don't get a lot of hard freezes like we did last year. Where I epoxied is probably below the spa level, so this could be the mysterious leak that I've been trying to track down. Started out small but got worse as I...

Thanks for the response. Depending on if this is the conduit from the raised spa light or pool light, probably between 12 - 18 inches. Water was coming from the PVC adaptors that I tried to epoxy (as seen with the white epoxy in the first and second pictures), which was unsuccessful. Leak...

I noticed water on the equipment pad recently and it looks like it's coming from a PVC conduit. I presume this conduit is for either the pool or spa light (hopefully the latter since I've been trying to determine a leaking hot tub). Is it normal to have water in the conduit for a pool/spa...

Thanks for the awesome diagram! Mine is a little different (JVA 2444), but concept is the same. I noticed that the lower micro switch sometimes isn't activated which is causing it to keep spinning. Maybe a bad switch? Still don't know if the bad actuator is related to the spa leak since I...

One thing I just noticed that when I set the mode to spa drain, the actuator on the suction 3 way valve turned 3 times around and the valve wasn't quite in the fully off position. Next time I put it in spa drain mode, it kept turning and didn't stop after 10 minutes. Could be something faulty...

I didn't detect a rise in the pool level, since it's only about an inch of water leaving the hot tub. I'm hoping for the best that it isn't an external leak. How difficult is it to check the 3 way valves and determine there is a leak in the valve? Still holding off on getting someone to look...

Quick Update: I put the pool in spa mode and left it overnight and the spa still draining about 1 inch in 18 hours. Thoughts?

Thanks again. Don't know yet about the spa level drop since it is slow and only drops about an 1-2 inches over 18 hours before the pump kicks back on. I'm currently turning off the spa over the next couple of days to determine if it could be an external leak which I'm hoping it's not. Will...

Thanks for clarifying about the pool level and air bubbles. I don't see any check valve on the spa suction side (just the 1 on the spa and another on the spa water feature), just the jandy actuator valve feeding the filter pump. Could it possibly be a leak with this valve on suction side...

I resolved a raised spa leak about 4 months ago that was draining overnight with the pump off by replacing the check valve, but the problem appears to have come back. Raised spa loses about 1 - 1.5 inches overnight (sometimes less if not at all). What's odd is that I measured the pool level...
