Update: I tried the plastic method without any luck. But then I made some progress! I opened up my Paramount PV3 gear valve dome and plugged the port going to the spa. Voila. It did not drain anymore! Then I removed the plug just to see what would happen and it still did not drain. This is with...

I removed the jets and used a threaded plug to plug each of the jets. The spa still drains. :( Looking at the picture above, I have a few things left to try. The in-floor cleaning system and the light. Assuming the drain and return are ok via replaced Jandy valves and check valve. I used food...

Sorry. Actually it doesn't end up exactly at pool level. It's still above pool level when it stops. I do not have a valve to shut of the infloor system and it is the only return to the pool.

I really appreciate your help. It drains to pool level in both pool mode and spa mode. Has anything changed? Not that I can think of. In my testing last night I noticed that the air blower did not instantly produce air through the jets. I had to cycle the blower on and off many times until it...

Yes. It runs fine

I have received the parts and rebuilt both Jandy valves. Still draining.

I believe there may be a check valve on the floor cleaner but it’s buried underground. I semi attempted to dig it up but can try again. I thought if it was leaking through the cleaner then the level would be lower. Maybe not?

Jet Spa is closed. Pool Return is open.

That’s the first jandy valve pic. Pool return sends water through the floor cleaner which has a station in the spa.

I cannot plug a floor port. I have replaced the check valve and also the insides of both Jandy valves. It’s still draining. No clue what to even try next. It drains down to the jets but not past.

Another update. It is draining slowly and it is going back into the pool.

I do have a Paramount In-floor cleaning system. According to the manual there is a check valve between the cleaning canister and the spa. In my case this would be buried underground in a flower bed. It would be a pain to dig up, but I may do it.

It drains slowly. Maybe goes down an inch or so in an hour. Not sure if it goes back into pool or not.

My spa has recently started draining when the pump is off. When the pump is on the spa has a spillover which functions as expected. I have two Jandy valves with actuators which move for pool mode or spa mode. I removed the actuators and manually moved the valves to ensure they were in closed...

My skimmers do not have a knockout port. My main drain has a debris canister and I don't see any sort of knockout on it either.

Any quick advice on what to look for at the skimmer? Thanks Jim. You answered before I asked. :)
