Spa leak

[bware]

My attached spa has begun leaking down to pool level overnight when the pump is off. This happened some years ago my PB replaced what I think was a check valve. Is this what I'm needing?



Thanks in advance!

That is similar to the check valve mine uses. Only way to know is to compare the pic to what you have @ your equipment pad. best to look for branding as well...so you know 100% they match.

if you drain the spa into the pool, you can pull the valve guts and have a look-see at the seal.

looking through the site-glass top can you tell that the valve is closed?

My valve is just above the ground and easy to get to. I shouldn't have to drain the spa to change the valve, huh? Or is there more to this than I see?
Can't tell for sure that it is closed, but almost certain this was the culprit before.

Thanks.

I had the same problem and installed a spring check valve on the spa return line. Works great.
