Emergency help

[tstex]

My power went out and I’m draining filter and pumps but my above ground spa is draining too slowly via pump

how can i stop it ? Is there a manual override on actuators

 

[mknauss]

There are toggle switches on the actuators. Move the toggle until the actuator moves to where you want it. Off is the middle toggle setting.

Thx Mike, no matter what position, it will not move / 900 Gal spa slowly draining

Sounds like your equipment is below the spa return and gravity is draining the water down.

You need to put a plug in the spa returns. Use potatoes as plugs if necessary.

Yea, but it’s 20 degrees and hi today is 28...if lines are full of water, won’t they burst?

Sounds like plugged lines will drain out the pump.

It is the best you can do. Or just let the spa drain out.
