Hi, wonder if someone can help me with a new to me pool, my last one was simple 2 returns with no spa and that was that.
In the valve pic i've figured out thus far
returns (left batch of 4)
[spa wall jet | sconces | pool return | spa fountain thingy in center]
suction (right batch of 4)
[ main or spa? | sweep | skimmer | main or spa?]
the pool has two main drains , then the spa has one. , i'm assuming the pool main drains are connected you think? and one of the 2 suction lines above is the main drain
for the spa. Does that sound like a usual setup i haven't been able to get in yet so i'm guessing.
Also i notice the spa drains down to pool level when the pump is off, i don't see any sort of check valving, should i have the valves in a different position?
it would seem i would need a check valve as wouldn't water return unless the spa return + spa main drain is closed?
I'm also guessing the heater setup, that's just a pump to drive the spa jets as spa wall has those as well as returns , but now that i think about it, where does it get it's flow? Not sure how these are plumbed.
Thanks for any help
