Pool water return

Postby Lovedeep » Wed 24 Mar, 2021 21:23

I have a pool with a spa. I have set 1/3 water return to the spa and 2/3 to the pool. Suddenly last week, no water returns to the poolside and 100% of it goes to the spa side. I wanted to ask if someone had a similar problem and was able to fix it.

How have you set 1/3 to the spa and 2/3 to the pool?

I have a return valve that lets me control how much water going back to spa or pool.

Is that a simple diverter valve like a Jandy style or individual valves for each leg?

Single valve. Here is a picture.
Based on my looking around, I think the pool return line might be clogged.
