Possible Causes

Deteriorated jet body gasket, Loose jet body nut, Cracked jet housing, Failed light lens gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and lower water level below the leaking fitting.

  • Inspect from inside: Look for movement or gaps around the leaking jet or light.
  • Access from back (if possible): Remove side panels to reach the rear of the shell. Tighten the retaining nut on the jet body or light housing gently.
  • Replace gaskets: If tightening does not stop the leak, remove the jet body or light and install new OEM gaskets or seals.

Some shell leaks require foam excavation and are best handled by an experienced spa technician.
