Why are the suctions in my Vortex™ and Fisher™ Spa not working or only one working?

When the filter area gets blocked up, it will start to pull water from the suction area. To prevent this, the suctions are equipped with check valves which only open up when there is insufficient suction in the filter box area. Such measures ensure that only filtered water passes through the pumps.
