How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and avoid running the pumps with low water level.
- Confirm leak rate: Mark the water level and note how quickly it drops to help locate the height of the leak.
- Inspect accessible areas: Remove side panels near the suspected leak area and look for wet foam or dripping lines.
- Excavate foam (advanced): Carefully remove wet foam around the suspected area to expose the leaking pipe or manifold.
- Temporary patch: For small cracks, a PVC repair coupling or spa-rated epoxy can be used as a temporary fix.
Extensive internal leaks often require professional service to properly access, repair, and re-foam the area.
