Troubleshooting water flow from spa to pool after motor shutdown

[JohnK]

Automatic valve actuators. No check valve for spa drain that I can find. Should I sent a photo of the equipment layout?

Photos definitely help, with equipment questions. You can post photos using Flickr, Picasa, Webshots, or you can email them to poolforum@gmail.com.

Once we see the photos of your valve arrangement we can better see what the problem is but if there is no check valve I would suspect a bad valve or actuator. Try disingaging the actuators (if don't know how let us inow what brand and model of automation and actuators you have) and turining the valves manually (If you donlt know how don't do it).
Pictures of the valve positions in both pool and spa settings (or pool and spillover, however your system is set up) would be very helpful!

Sent the photos to pool forum. I operated all valves both manually and electronically and they seem to be operational. All valves are Jandy. The photos show valve setting with spa spillover.
