How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power if water level drops below suction fittings to prevent pump damage.

  • Inspect shell and jets: Look around each jet and fitting inside the spa for moisture, discoloration, or calcium deposits indicating a slow leak.
  • Dye test: Use food coloring near suspected leak points to see if it is drawn into a crack or fitting.

Locating and repairing hidden leaks often requires foam removal and specialized tools; contact a spa leak detection specialist.
