Hello everyone!
I've been a lurker for many years here and am finally posting my first thread!
I am in need to replace the spa light and unfortunately the cord is not long enough to do the work without draining the spa. I did some digging in getting this done and it seems that my system does not have an automatic drain function. I am assuming that I can still do this by manually manipulating some valves as there seems to be a couple of drains at the bottom of the spa.
I have solar heater, electric heater, and a spa heater. Below is a picture of my piping in hopes that someone can assist me with the process. I am a newbie when it comes to this and I am hoping that someone can assist me with labeling what each lines is. There seems to have been labels on some of it, but it has since faded away. I noticed that there is 3 automatic valves but I can only see the right-most one moving when I switch between Pool and Spa. I listed what is already labeled or seen but have no idea what everything else is doing.
1. From Solar
2. To Solar
3. From Pool
4. To pool
5. Pool related, manually closed. What could it be?
6. Pool related, manually opened. What could it be?
7. Assuming to be Spa as it closes when in Pool mode.
8. ?
9. ?
10. ?
11. ?
Also, what the heck is the black cylindrical component behind the electric heater on the wall?
I know I may be asking a lot, but my pool guy is never around when I'm home and he's somewhat of a flake with these inquiries.
Please let me know if there's anything more that is needed to determine the spa draining process or what some of the lines are.
Thank you so much in advance!
