MSPA
Air Leak in Tub Structure or Valve
MSPA spa inflates but slowly loses air over several hours or days without visible water leaks.

Possible Causes
Leaking inflation valve, Micro‑punctures in tub wall, Poorly sealed repair patch, Temperature‑related pressure changes misinterpreted as leaks
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not overinflate the spa to compensate for leaks; this can damage seams.
- Check valve: Apply soapy water around the inflation valve and look for bubbles. Tighten the valve insert with the supplied tool if leaking.
- Inspect for punctures: Spray soapy water over the tub surface and seams. Mark any bubbling spots and patch with an MSPA PVC repair kit.
- Account for temperature: Remember that air pressure drops when temperature falls. Some apparent "leaks" are normal pressure changes; top up air slightly as needed.
- Re‑patch if needed: If a previous patch is leaking, remove loose edges, clean the area, and apply a new, larger patch.
