Used spa yesterday now pool returns won't work

[Wilkod]

Hello, used spa yesterday (actually just the spillway button). When I turned off the spillway I noticed there was still flow out of the spa and into the pool. I cannot get my pool returns to work. I'm thinking I have a valve that stopped working. Is there a way to troubleshoot that or turn it manually?

I have a Pentair Easy Touch system. Perhaps there is a setting I am overlooking?

Thanks very much,
Doug

After I posted I used a couple correct terms to do a search and found some great info. Search is your friend...

W,

Did you get it fixed?

No. I placed a service call. I played with the switch and it doesn't work. Cable looks good. Early tomorrow morning i am going to look for a fuse.

Thanks,
Doug

Doug,

Sounds to me like the actuator if bad. Most likely a failed micro-switch. Lots of info here on replacing them..

The EasyTouch has three or four small circuit breakers in the upper right of the main panel, one of them protects the valve voltage.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thanks Jim. Is that micro switch inside the body of the valve? Thanks for replying!

I think the breaker is good because the other valve works fine.

Yes, there are two micro switches inside the valve actuator one for each stop.

Pool repair guy came out and replaced the valve. I have the old one so plan to take it apart to see the switches. Next time i fix myself!

Thanks guys...
