Thank you JamesW! I both the replacement parts and will see if that does the trick!

"Sherlock Holmes" because I'm at my witt's end I am starting to believe a poltergeist might be at play. I sure hope the community can help me. First things first before I show my setup diagram. Spa level drop timeframe: 1. Sometimes overnight. 2. Sometimes in a matter of hours. 3. Sometimes...

You 1poolman1 are my hero! Today when you go to bed and think to yourself, "I wonder if the eternal scales tipped slightly in favor of my helping my fellow man?", rest assured my friend, they have!
