Hi All,
New homeowner with a pool (Pentair system). I had a pool guy come out and replace both the pool and spa light. For the spa, he drained the water into the pool to access the light. Then filled it up again. However, since then, the spa no longer circulates and the water doesn't spill over into the pool. If I put it into spa mode, the pool returns stop and the spa returns start pumping. I would like to return it to normal so that both the pool and spa circulate when the pump is running. This is all new to me and I've been trying to figure it out. Photos of my system are below. Unfortunately the previous owner painted over the labels so I am trying to figure out what each pipe does. Any advice would be appreciated.
The whole system:
Current mode the system is set to (pool mode).
In the photo below, I manually set the return to both pool and spa using the switch on the actuator. Pool and spa jets were running and the spillover started. I thought I had it figured out so I turned off the pump (leaving the actuators in this position) and the spa lost a few inches of water over an hour . I filled the spa back up again and set it back to pool mode.
Photo below is the pool return. No clue what the pipe with the closed off valve does. Also, is the pool return set correctly (3/4 open?).
