Several times a year I wake to see a drop in water level in our spa (spillover). it happens when the weather starts to cool down. Our pool runs from 9am -4pm. Typically it falls about 1 inch below tile line. But sometimes it goes all the way to jets. Any ideas? This has happened for a couple yrs. thanks.
Spa water level dropping

If the spa is above the pool (like it sounds), often the water lowering is due to a check valve on the spa returns leaking allowing the water to drain back into the pool.

Yep. It's 12" above. If its a leak, wouldn't it happen every day til fixed? Or not that kind of leak.....? I don't know what I'm talking about 
Ok. Can not figure out how to post. Let me try something's and will see if I can get it on here. Thanks

It could be that sometimes the check valve seats properly and seals and other times it does not (weak spring) ... just theories.
Does the water drain down to the pool water level? or are the jets above the pool water level and thus the water only drains down to the bottom of the jets?
Are the jets all run off of the same pump as the pool or do you have a separate pump and plumbing loop that runs the jets independantly of the pool pump and filter?
