I’ve recently started having issues switching to spa mode on my pool. When I switch to spa mode the return valve is slow to respond. The intake valve starts moving immediately but the return valve is delayed. Sometimes it’s just a few seconds but other times it’s minutes. A couple of time I turned on spa mode only to go out later and find my spa was half empty before the valve finally switched. Any suggestions? Jandy automation system. I’ll attach an image of the valve.

Have you opened up the actuator to inspect the condition of the micro switches and motor?
Chances are you will find water leaked into the actuator and parts are corroded. If water got into the actuator then replace the valve stem O-rings of diverter valve under it.
You can rebuild the actuator or replace it.

I would change the o rings in the valve and replace the actuator as it looks like it's been working a long time .
