@Jimrahbe Plug was still in place from original install. The plaster guys took out the other 2 but didn't remove the third. I guess they didn't know/think that was being used. @Robtown I think you're right on for that type of drain...I am just glad it was able to be resolved easily as well. A...

Well TFP has definitely come through on this one! Much appreciated on the inputs and thoughts as to what could be going on. I ended up actually calling the plumber ahead of him heading over to ask/confirm that he did use the 3rd port on the drain. He confirmed, and @Robtown ended up hitting the...

@Robtown you know what that is a very good point indeed...my plumber is suppose to be coming out this afternoon to take a look, but now that you mention it, I wonder if there is still a plug on that 3rd port. We have the drain with the finish over top so I would need to remove the screws and the...

Jim, Thats the one yes sir. That was also my thought as well...by putting it in sideways the gate was up against the side of the pipe and therefore the top and bottom would be wide open for flow. I am wondering myself if that line is potentially clogged as well. When I pulled the check valve I...

Thanks Jim! Just got back in from pulling the check valve and performing the exercise you mentioned above. Did not know exactly how to remove the guts so I actually just rotated it so the gate is completely out of the way. You can see it on the short video clip I posted. That said, with the...

Well I went ahead and fully opened the Makeup Valve for the Spa while in Pool Mode. I went over to the spa and did not notice or feel anything coming out and let it run for about 1-1.5hr and noticed no change in water level (nor any spillover). Went back to the equipment pad and noticed...

Jim, Appreciate the breakdown and I can with 100% certainty say we are on the same page based on your description above. And based on what you explained above with regards to the make-up valve and its positions, that is absolutely what I was expecting. If it is 100% off, everything goes to the...

*Correction on spa water level: It is about 1-1.5” from spilling over. Not 2-3.

Good Evening. Had some good rain here the last day and a half so haven't made it outside much but did want to share that I did have the "makeup" valve closed since my post Thursday (11/26) and water has held just fine. I did need some clarification on things as it relates to this makeup valve...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Switched over to spa mode and it has been running for almost an hour now and looks to be holding steady. Jim, I will go ahead and shut the make up and see what we get. @mknauss Also good point. And correct no check valve there so could see it also being...

Hey folks! First off Happy Thanksgiving! Wanted to share that I was able to get the plaster crew to come back out yesterday and make repairs. They ended up “patching” all 7 of my lower spa jets. Filled the spa back up and everything seemed to be running smooth. Since I have been behind on...

Sorry for the delayed reply...busy weekend! But @rcerf thanks so much for the info & that sounds like a 100% match to our findings! Plumber was able to finally make it out yesterday afternoon and as they were preparing to do some pressure testing on the lines, we noticed that on my bottom set of...

JJ, Sadly I made what is beginning to feel like an extremely regretful decision of doing an Owner PB. So needless to say, I'm the one on the hook. I have a guy who does startups and is assisting me with the valve programming. However, my bigger issue currently is #2 with the leak somewhere in...

Jim, Again, appreciate the follow up. I just went through and filled the spa back up to the appropriate level, and actually as it was filling up I started to notice water seeping out from between the spa wall and the concrete decking. I uploaded a video to try and depict it...I ended up taking...

Jim, Thanks for the reply. 1. This does help clarify the intent of this valve. I should have captured a picture prior to me turning this valve, but I can confirm that nothing was running when I had it in this position (100% to spa). When I noticed/had the issue of low pool water and those...

Pool finally completed its initial fill yesterday! While it was extremely exciting, the enjoyment was short lived. I noticed that the spa was not holding water which based on my researching I immediately checked the Spa Suction valve. It is on an Intellivalve valve actuator and when I checked...

Allen was spot on. And it made perfect sense. Lights ran fine & without issue once submerged. Noted for future: Even when you think you've read everything go back and re-read again to ensure you don't miss an important detail such as not running the lights more than 30sec without water...

🤦‍♂️ Thank you very much for pointing that out! This is my first pool, and as you can see from the signature, I did an Owner build so probably some of the little things that a PB would have shared. I had a small hunch that could be the case, but the fact that the 2 Pool LEDs weren't...
