Hot tub information?

Question

I just got a hot tub and it appears to be leaking. I dont know what to do, it diddnt start leaking as far as i know until i added a bit more water to cover the neck and shoulder jets, could that be the problem or will I have to seal it up, plese help, thanks

Answer 1

I hope you used the installer recommended by the retailer you purchased it from; if it is leaking, a lot of warranties are voided if you installed it yourself.

Call the place you purchased it from, and ask them to take a look at it.

Answer 2

If it didnt leak until you filled it over the top jets, then one or more of those is leaking.

Usually, these have a small gasket, on the backside of the shell, between the fitting and the shell.  Most of these simply s***w in from the front, so I would suggest trying to tighten them first.  If there is still a leak, then you'll need to replace the gasket.  Any spa dealership should be able to get the correct gasket for you.....worst case scenario, you could make one, or apply some silicone to the backside.

Most spas have removable panels, making it easier to get to hard to reach areas.  You may be able to remove the panel, and see just which coupler is leaking.

Good Luck
