Jandy is a brand name. But you could try using the internals from one of them and see what happens. It looks like you have enough room to replace the entire valve if it doesn't work anyway. I suggest you buy a true Jandy one-way valve and try the internals from that. If it doesn't work/fit then you have the valve to replace it all.
Thanks! BTW, assuming the check valve is the problem, is there any harm in doing nothing, i.e. there does not appear to be any loss in the pool water and the loss in the spa is made up very quickly first thing in the morning when the filter comes on. The only other thing done recently was that I replaced the spider gasket in my multi-port valve, but I wouldn’t think that would affect the spa water level like this?

Check valve just keeps it from draining back when it is off. If you don't mind that, then should be no issue. You could just take it apart (they are designed to be serviced when needed) and see if you can clean it out and lube it and it might end up being fine after that. Just keep in mind if the valve has never been taken apart to be careful of buggering up the oring or else it may leak.
