My spa is slowly leaking back into the pool, apparently through a check valve.  I dug up the partly buried valve, but am unable to locate any info on the company.  I'm new at this, so I don't know if check valve unions have a standard thread and length and any same size check valve will work, or if they were unique by company.  I'm guessing it was part of the original pool which was built with the house in 1994 and several owners back.  Of course there's not a lot of room or enough pipe to cut out the existing valve and unions to replace it.  Here's some pics of the installed valve, which is labeled "Flo" with a stylized F, Troup TX and D 2466

 

Thanks for any help.

Looks like a Flow #1700-20  Spring Check Valve  or a #1720-20 Swing check by Campbell products. First one is spring loaded sealing plate the 2nd is a flapper/Pivot type. You might find it at Ace hardware or even Amazon by part number. Hope this helps.

Took a while to get it all sorted out.  Found a 1700-20 check valve on eBay, the one that came was identical except for replacing Troup Tx with Lindsay CA, and even included the mysterious D-2466.  Other than trouble getting the top O ring to stay in place in the downward pointing groove it slid right in.  Haven't tried switching off the flow into the spa for a longer term test (the vs pump runs 16 hours a day), but so far it looks good.  Thanks for the help, @MotorGuru!
