    I've just been able to get back to my spa as it's been raining around here non-stop.

    Aha now I got it about the drain pipe being off-center of the ring so the adapter covers the pipe. Thanks for the video too. Question, is it another, second drain in the spa?

    I do not understand how my spa return works

    The red arrow shows the pool return. The green arrows show two pipes that go into the spa return, so why there are two of them? And, what is the thing that circled in purple, is it a check valve for spa? It does not work, the water in the spa lowers once I turn off the pump.
