    If this happens only when in spa only position it could be a bad valve on the spa/pool return is letting water back into the pool when it is not supposed to.

    It turned out to be a leaky valve. I just got new valves and some new piping put in. Problem solved. Thanks for your responses.

    It's actually a fairly common problem and the first thing to check! Glad you got it taken care of.

    I'm glad this thread was posted! I have the *exact* same experience. I get around it by drawing a little water from the pool, but since my equipment is under warranty, I'll ask the builder to fix/replace the faulty return valve.
