I've done a visual inspection of all the plumbing joints, and I don't see anything. I'll try the rest of your suggestions. No lights in the spa. The drain has no threads, so I'm not sure I can plug it.

I just ran the pump in spa mode for about an hour. There is definitely air in the strainer basket. There was already some air in there because my skimmer basket overfilled last night and the pump started to suck in air (live oak tree is shedding), but normally the air escapes into the return...

No, it dropped to about half way between the jets and the drain before I stopped the experiment. It has to be in the suction-side plumbing. So do I have any options other than hiring someone to come dig it out? I REALLY don't want to do that.

All the coping around my spa came unset, and it's the only spot around the pool that it happened. My theory was water expansion, so I isolated the spa from the pool to see if one dropped faster than the other. Sure enough, the spa level dropped faster. My pool and spa are at the same...

Ok, so I've let my spa evaporate for a few weeks now, and the water level is below the jets. That tells me that my leak is suction-side. Which sucks. No pun intended. Short of calling out a pro to dig up the concrete, what can I do?

Thanks Dave. I'll try that.

I'm hoping this is the right place to put this topic. I have a spa attached to my pool that seems to be losing water faster than the pool. As an experiment, I shut off the pump and closed the Jandy valve so that the pool and spa were isolated from each other (no water in or out). I let it sit...
