Why is my spa draining down when the pool turns off?

If your spa drains down after the pool turns off chances are it is a check valve failure. This could mean that the check valve is bad or debris is stuck inside of it. The check valve is designed to keep the water from dropping down to the pool water level in an elevated spa (which is how most pools with spas are designed).

Why does water come back up when the pool is turned off?

If the check valve is not working properly, water will flow back down through the pipes as gravity takes effect. So 75% of the time it will be faulty check valve. But not always. At the end of the video I show other possible causes such as a bad or faulty Valve Actuator.

Can a licensed electrician fix a tripped hot tub?

What should I do if my pool drain is deep?

To prevent this, many spa main drains are fitted with anti-vortex drain covers which are slightly dome-shaped with the openings located around the sides of the dome. Obviously in a pool where the main drain is very deep, this is not a concern, so safety suction lines are not added.

Can a pool drain cover fall out of compliance?

Now, when examining pools and spas for compliance, professionals must be aware of the entire SOFA and certain aspects of the circulation system — not just the certification stamp on the drain cover. (But, make no mistake: If the drain’s parts are damaged, cracked or broken, it falls out of compliance.)
