Thank you @Oldy!! That definitely worked!

Thanks for the link! I didn't realize I had to push down the knob before turning. I’ll try that tomorrow. Thank you so much!!

I used the little switch on the bottom of the box. I did try to turn by hand but I couldn’t move it at all.

I tried to shut off what I thought was spa return (it was set to like an 80/20), but when I turned the filter pump on, the spa started filling water in immediately. So I tried to turn the valve the other way, thinking maybe I shut off the pool return instead of the spa return, but the valve wouldn’t turn. It goes back to the 80/20 position. Is this normal? I’m complete newbie so I have no idea what I’m doing...

Do I need to have the filter pump on or off when doing this?

New homeowner/pool owner here. There’s a horizontal crack below the bench section of the spa. We had American Leak come out to repair (they are the ones that discovered the leak). They said they aren’t able to repair it. Now there’s a crack on the concrete near the spa area. I think we need to drain the spa ASAP to prevent further damage. We asked our pool maintenance company to assist but they always take a few days to show up. Can anyone tell us how to drain the spa into the pool? Thank you all so much!!
