DMZ76 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 We have a 1 year old Highland Spa (balboa pumps x 2 and waterways pressurized filtration system). Recently I’ve noticed water is not being cleared from inside the filter compartment. The filter and pumps are operating fine and the is no leakage from the pressurized filter system. The water which is accumulating is from splashed water or other outside water which enter the exterior filter compartment (underneath the circular filter cap which has 2 built in cup holders. Previously I would periodically hear a “gurgling” sound as the standing water would be purged from this area. But I no longer hear that familiar sound and suspect the drainage system is blocked or otherwise nonfunctional. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will try to attach a photo of the area I’m referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Diamond Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Not familiar with the Highland brand but other similar filter systems use the air inlet from one of the jets to "suck" the water out of that area. Maybe one of the jets has been turned inadvertently? Maybe you have an air control valve for that function? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much! Wish I could buy you a drink! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
