Where is pool spa check valve?
As such, a common location for a check valve is on the incoming suction pipe, in front of the filter pump.

The reason you do not turn it all the way off is so that you will get chemicals/chlorine into your spa to sanitize it. So say it is cracked open, out of the heater it goes to the Jandy Never Lube valve and say 80% of the clean water will go to the pool and 20% will go to the hot tub/spa.

Can you heat up a pool with a spa pump?
Can’t imagine trying to heat a spa without isolating it from the pool… you not only don’t want pool water feeding into your pump (so closing off pool valves and opening the spa drain valve that go in to the pump is right) but you want to be sure that instead of water returning to the pool it is supplying the spa.

Why are there no return valves in my Pool?
Check Valves Check valves, also known as non-return or one-way valves are installed in plumbing to prevent the backflow of water, usually due to gravity. Also, if the pump is turned off, there’s nothing to keep the water from flowing the wrong way. This could lead to some nasty situations ending up in your pool.
