Replacing the check valve seems to have solved the problem. The bottom of the flap might have looked a little worn out but nothing crazy noticeable. I’m going to order a few and keep them on hand in case the company ever stops making them or goes out of business.

@Jimrahbe This was this morning when I just stepped outside to check. Water level in the spa lowered to right above the jet. Water level in the pool raised about 1/4 of an inch. So it’s definitely draining back into the pool.
