External Water Leak at Fittings
Spa leaks water from around the pump/heater unit or hose connections
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Loose hose collars, Worn or cracked O-rings at connections, Cross-threaded fittings, Cracked hose or plastic union
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the spa before tightening or disconnecting any hoses. Avoid overtightening plastic parts.
- Identify leak source: Dry the area and observe where water appears. Check around each hose collar and union.
- Tighten connections: Hand-tighten hose collars firmly. Do not use tools that may crack the plastic.
- Inspect O-rings: If you disconnect a hose, inspect the O-ring for cracks or flattening. Replace if damaged.
- Check hoses: Look for splits or pinholes along the hose length. Replace any damaged hose.
Persistent leaks from the pump housing or heater body may indicate a cracked casing or internal seal failure, requiring replacement of the pump/heater unit by a technician.
