Prologic Auto Valve Actuator Question

Can someone please help me out with the right way to configure the prologic?
My main equipment:
1 Pool Filter/Pump (Inground Cleaning System Caretaker99 that cycles and with one cycle returns to spa for overflow to pool)
1 Spa Filter/Pump - On AUX1 (This is supposed to be just for the spa but because of valve issue sometimes drains SPA to pool, and is what this thread is about)
1 StaRite 400k BTU Heater - This is a shared heater. (Never really use for the pool but is an option the way its plumbed)

My main issue is with this one valve that directs flow either to the Spa or to the Pool. It's a hayward actuator valve that is plugged into Valve4.

I want this valve (valve4) to turn ONLY when the Spa Filter/Pump is on, then when Spa Filter Pump is Off the valve needs to turn back to the original position.

Is this possible? Can someone please walk me through how to properly program it?
If its not possible using this actuator valve, then how?

I also have valve3 used with another actuator Valve. But this valve is set on a timer for changing suction to/from pool skimmer or pool bottom.
This one is set on a timer and has not been an issue at all.

I really wish i could add more actuator valves but this prologic board is VERY LIMITED.
It's a GLX-PCB-PRO (Pro-Logic System Board REV 4.47)
AQL-PS-8 Display (RF base software r3.00)
 
You can only do what the Proligic Configuration allows.

Do you have your ProLogic Installation Manual? I am not sure if this is for your version...


Are you configured for Pool Only or Pool and Spa?

Pool/Spa return actuator should be connected to Valve1

Pool/Spa Suction actuator should be connected to Valve 2

They turn when you select SPA mode.

You cannot assign the valves to other AUX's,

After you select SPA mode you can then turn on your spa pump on AUX1.
