I recently moved to a new home with a pool and I'm a first-time pool owner. I understand most of my plumbing system but I have 2 things I haven't yet figured out.
1) I have what seems to be an "extra" spa return line.
The line is hand-labeled by the previous owner as "spa return" and has been in the off position since I've owned the pool. There is another spa return that seems to function for all the jets in the spa and the spa seems to fully function even with the extra return turned off. I've tried turning on the additional return but I don't see any obvious effect from that.
2) I also have what looks to me like a drain pipe but I don't know if that's accurate and if it is I don't know how to use it; there doesn't seem to be any valve that controls it.
Here are plumbing photos. The 2nd photo shows the returns and the one marked "spa return(off)" is the one I'm wondering about. Any ideas what function it may serve? And the 4th and 5th photos show what looks like a drain line. It's the diagonal line coming out from the wall.

Thanks all,
