I'm also wondering about three other hypothetical scenarios that may have led to the incident. Water level was too low and pump was sucking too much air. Someone (mosquito guy) accidentally bumped into the pipe. Multiport valve's position was adjusted (e.g. for backwashing) while the pump was...

I was able to obtain a photo of the multiport valve on the filter. Just another data point that may help.

Hi all, I had an emergency today. The pipe running from the pump to the filter dislodged itself while the pool pump was running (see attached photos). I was not at home since I had just moved out this past Saturday (7/16), so the home was vacant (tenant hasn’t moved in yet). Luckily, my...

The spa doesn't overflow in pool mode, so I guess that means I'll need to add a new check valve. Does that seem feasible with my setup? Looks a bit tight. I attached the photo of my equipment pad again for convenience.

I've actually been keeping the spa return completely closed as a temporary solution to this problem. In the photo, it indicates otherwise, but it was only for yesterday to clean out the spa a bit. When it's closed, the water drains ever so slightly. I guess that could be evaporation or something...

The water level in the spa always stops just below the return jets. I have attached a photo of the equipment pad. The return plumbing is on the bottom-left corner of the photo. The pipe going to the left is the return for the spa. The pipe going to the right is the return for the pool.

I am experiencing issues with my pool's water levels. My pool has a spa built in with a spillover. I also have my pool pump running for five hours a day. When the pool pump is running and the water level in the pool is ideal, everything is good. When the pool pump turns off, issues start...
