You have to tell me what I am looking at since I cannot follow pipes across disjointed pictures.

Sorry there is not enough space to take the picture from far
The right side valve controls the spillover, middle one controls another water fall which is shut off, and the left one controls return line to pool

What does this valve that is not fully closed control?
What valves do you turn to use the spa?
What valves do you turn to use the spa?
That’s a spillover valve, a little open for some spa circulation, not to splash a lot
To use the spa I turn on a switch which controls the actuator valve
Give me a second to post a picture

I don;t see any actuators in the pics you posted.
Where are they hidden?
What control box does that switch connect to?

Okay! So the Autospa IV is your rudimentary automation which was probably state of the art when it was installed. Except at the time variable speed pumps, SWGs, and spa spillover modes where not known.
There is no design flaw in your pool except that you have an antiquated control system.
If you replaced the Autospa with a Pentair IntelliCenter you would have all the modern conveniences and controls.

I was wondering what those square metal boxes were where one has the electrical lines hanging out in the open.
Yes they’re antique
Bought my house 2 years ago, renovating everything little by little
Redone the pebble tech 1.5 years ago
Replaced most of the valves, SWG last month

You said I need pentair intellicenter
Is that all I need
How about intellitouch
Or I need all both?

Put the pool automation on the upgrade list.
The IntelliTouch and EasyTouch are 20+ year old automation systems. I would not recommend you move from an antiquated control system to a soon to be antiquated control system.
The IntelliCenter is about 3 years old and is where Pentair is putting its development efforts into for future enhancements.
Pentair sells an IntelliCenter bundle that includes the IntelliCenter Pool/Spa system with two IntelliValve actuators and the IntelliChlor SWG at a good price. Even though you have the Circupool and can continue using it I would store the Intellichlor cell and when your Circupool cell is depleted move to the IntelliChlor.
