Thanks, Jim. Is the check valve replacement a DIY project or should I use my stimulus $ to hire it out?

Thanks for all of the ideas. FYI my filter control unit is a Pentair Sun Touch. All of this equipment is about 25 years old. I’m including a couple more pix to show what the lower level valve/plumbing looks like. I assume the blue valve that is in these pix is the one that I should turn...

It’s a QuickTouch II, and unfortunately stopped working last summer, despite changing out the batteries. When you advise turning off the blue valve, do you mean turning the valve handle 90 degrees on the Hayward one (blue label)? I still want the water to circulate in the spa so it doesn’t get...
