We have had this issue for about 2 weeks - spa waterline would go down by maybe 6 or so inches while the main pool will go up (by 1/4 inches or so maybe, obviously because of bigger surface area).
This makes me think the 2-way valve (that handles flow from spa drain) might need to be looked at & replaced.
Got in touch with pool repair company; they looked at photos I shared and said they might need to change other valves too, the total job could end up being $1,250. If it's just the check valve, it'd be $195.
I got a bit uneasy during the phone call and wanted to ask for opinions here - sure, it's possible the other valves could have problems too which in that case replacing others would certainly seem justified. But is it relatively common for multiple valves to go bad needing replacement here? Just wanted to hear initial thoughts from others here before I contact the pool repair company again before proceeding with the job. I want to make sure I'm not being taken advantage of (are valve issues visible & clear if I ask them to show it to me?).
Thanks in advance!
