Here's the update. Poolskim came and installed. One things I realized is that the return connection where you would connect it is also a whirlpool/spa jet. Does this mean I can't turn on the whirlpool, since one of the jets is covered by poolskim? I turn on the pool motor and can see water...

bpricedo Right? Would would happen if I just took off the grate. I guess my concern is that the leaves would enentually clog up the overflow line from the spa to the pool. But I don't know, what do you think? I just looked at your suggestion of poolskim---seems like it might work! I also...

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like a great idea and has to be out there. I'm a looking...

Hello All, I have this Spa that overflows into a pool. Every morning before I go to work, I have clean the leaves off of the grating/grill covering the overflow drain (see picture). If I don't, the spa overflows. [attachment=0:1sgs9r28]Woodberg-OverflowDrain.jpg[/attachment:1sgs9r28] So...

Mike W and Danaac, Here is some feedback about what happened. Happens that you guys were right with you initial suggestions about the backplow valve you circled in the picture. Replacing it helped alot. And then I noticed that the spa drain valve was a few clicks short of closed, and I closed...

Mike_W. I took a look today at the check valve you circled. I openned it up and looked good with no debris and functioning well. But I noticed something. No water is going through that check valve at all even when pump is on...the check valve is always closed. When I turn the valve handle...

Mike_W That's great advice. I'll check that check valve tomorrow. Makes sense. But how come there are 2 pipes coming from the ground that say "SPA RETURN"? Is it common to have a duplicate SPA return? :?:

Thank you very much for that information. I tried to take some pictures. I took five trying to stay close enough so the labels could be read. Can you tell which might be the troublesome valve? I am sending pics in 2 posts because max 3 per post

Hi All, I am new pool owner, and I'm just trying to understand how my pool works and if something is wrong or not. We have a separate spa that is a little bit higher than the pool. What I notice is that when the pool pump motor is off, the water level in the spa drops to just above jets(?)...
