Sorry I'm lost here and confused. It's not the 3 way valve next to the pump but it is? I apologize but I am not following you. Can you post the pic of the one I am suppose to check?

Okay, so this is the 3 way valve I should open up? I thought it was the one where the check valve sits?

Oh u mean this part.Normally the spa part is always off - the only time I would put it on is if I need to suck water from the spa which it does if I pit it on.

Are you talking about this? If I set the handle to turn spa jets off (which is what I did last night for the test) then nothing flows into the spa?

Not sure I understand this. In normal circumstances I don't close the spa valve, meaning when the pump is running water is flowing thru the jets into the spa, so you saying I need to turn this off when I test? But what about testing it when it's open which is the normal way it operates?

But if I am filling up the spa when I turn the pump on, is not that water coming from the pool and visa versa? I have not had any issues with the pool water level.

Another quick question - If food dye does disappear thru the spa drain cover, would that just entail getting a new drain cover? Thks

Okay thanks. Yes, not much winterizing going on here. I will do this all on Sunday. Of course, now I am thinking how did I have no problem for 6 months and this started up again a few weeks ago? Hence, probably makes sense to try and eliminate as many possibilities as I can here and hope for the...

Good idea. I will see if I have something I can use. The drain cover is pretty old and I don't think we have ever taken it off so perhaps there is crack or something. So I guess what you saying here is no water should be going out if it? I will take a pic of it but I thought it had holes on the...

Thks. As I had mentioned earlier, water level in spa is leveling off above the jets so I am only left with the spa drain. But then why it stops draining at the same level each time is a little weird, but as you said it seems to be leveling off with the pool level. I think on Sunday when I have...

Let me ask you a question plse. If, when I ran that test last night with the pump running and the spa water flow turned off (no water flowing thru the jets into the spa) and the spa water level still going down while the pump is running, could that still be from a bad check valve? Thks

Yes, this is the check valve he installed last time, he also installed those grey unions above and below the check valve. Re. 2nd pic I sent you, so this is what I would need to open up? Thks

Thanks. Yes, I would say that the spa level is leveling off with the pool? Here are some pics of my setup. If you looking for something else or more detailed, plse let me know.

About 6 months ago, I had an issue with my spa where, erratically, water was draining from my spa after the pump ended. I have a spa where the water flows into the pool. I hired a pool tech who installed a new check valve and had no problem for over 6 months. Then about 3 weeks ago, the water...

We use a cartridge filter. I see a few drops of water when the filter is running where we had replaced the check valve but nothing in comparison to the amount of water we are losing in the pool when the filter is running. I dont see any other water leakage around our pump filter. New lake? Not...

So this is complicated to understand for myself, but hopefully someone can make sense of this: A few months ago, my water level for my spa would drop erratically. Some days it was down a lot, some days it did not go at all. Doing some research, we decided to replace the check valve, which...

Thanks, will do
