I checked the flapper in the check valve and it appears to be good.  I put silicone around the edge of the flapper to create a better seal.  Spa water level continued to drop. Could another valve allow water to drain into the pool?  I noticed when I removed the check valve cover the water gushed out, (lots of pressure)  I assume it was the spa water attempting to drain backwards into the pool.  I have two two way valves automatically controlled but could it be that one is in need of repair?  How can I tell?
