We came back from vacation and it seems that the Spa is running all the time, even if I turn it On/Off via the PDA and when putting it in service mode and then going back to Auto. The normal return jets are not running but the skimmer baskets do seem to be working.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Sounds like your RETURN actuator may not be turning properly and is stuck in the spa position.

Post pics of your equipment pad and valves.

Thanks. Check these out. It's technically in Pool Filter mode but spa jets are running

This actuator is in SPA mode. The other is in POOL mode.

Find the toggle switch on the side of the actuator. It has three positions - ON1-OFF-ON2

Flip the toggle to the other way and report if the actuator turns.

Should I turn the actuator in SPA mode to Suction?

What's also weird is that I have the filter programmed to turn off at 9pm but it's still running, even though it's past 9pm. None of this happened prior to last week.

Have you checked the date and time in Aqualink?

OK, I flipped the switch on the bottom of the actuator and it did NOT move but the other one did. Is it a bad actuator?

The amps don't matter. The size does matter.

The switch is an Omron Basic/Snap Action Switches SS-5T that can be bought at Mouser.
