Ok I am confused about a couple of things with my plumbing....
short story...bout a house with a pool built in 2001...16K gallon sport pool with a 7Ft spa/ waterfall....
three pumps, filter, cleaner and waterfall.....
1st question...should my main drains on the bottom of my pool "suck"? I often see leaves standing on the bottom of the pool even sometimes on the drain...I believe I have my main drains on along with both skimmers...but I can never feel that main drain on the bottom of the pool doing anything..should I? should the drain in my spa being sucking as well?
2nd Question, my spa level drops when the filter pump shuts off..i can stop that by moving my valve to a setting called water feature..which appears to have been a water sprinkler in my spa...when the valve is set on water feature, my spa level stays up..put if I put it on pool return or spa return it drops....guess I dont understand what is happening there...
any ideas?
Thanks
