Lifesmart Spas Pump Seal or Union Leak

Water is leaking from around the pump area specifically.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn pump shaft seal, Loose pump unions, Cracked pump wet end housing, Deteriorated union O-rings

Safety first: Turn off power and do not run the pump while it is leaking.

Inspect unions: Check the suction and discharge unions on the Lifesmart pump. Hand-tighten and inspect O-rings for cracks or flattening. Replace O-rings if needed.
Check wet end: Look for cracks in the plastic pump housing. Replace the wet end if cracked.
Replace shaft seal: If water drips from between the motor and wet end, the shaft seal is likely worn. Remove the wet end, disassemble, and install a new shaft seal kit compatible with your Lifesmart pump.
