We have a valve that splits water flow between the spa and the pool. The valve that governs the flow was leaking last year, and pool service (which we are no longer using) recommended a rebuild kit. They ended up installing a new valve, for $300 parts/labor.
I rarely use the spa, so this thing used to sit at the 2 o’clock position — most of the water going to the pool, with a bit going to the spa to keep the water feature going. No issues, until I tried using the spa. I used to turn the valve all the way ccw to 9 o’clock to use the spa. All the water would go to the spa. But now I can’t turn it (ccw) past 12 o’clock, and the water seems to be equally split between pool and spa at that position. I tried fiddling with it to see if it was just stubborn or needed some up/down pressure, but it really seems like the valve has 90 degrees of travel.
The valve is a Jandy 4716. Is it the wrong valve for the application, can it be adjusted, am I being dumb?
Thank you!
