Possible Causes
Leaking pump union, Cracked heater manifold, Loose drain fitting, Split vinyl hose on suction or return line
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and do not run the spa with a known leak.
- 1. Remove side panel: Access the equipment bay and use a flashlight to locate the source of moisture.
- 2. Check unions: Inspect pump and heater unions for drips. Hand-tighten slightly; do not overtighten as this can crack fittings.
- 3. Inspect hoses: Look for splits or loose clamps on vinyl hoses. Tighten clamps or replace hoses as needed.
- 4. Examine drain: Ensure the drain cap and fitting are tight and not cracked.
If the leak appears to be from the shell plumbing or jets behind the foam, professional leak detection and repair is recommended.
