How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep electrical components away from soapy water used for leak detection.

Check inflation: Use the SaluSpa pump to top up air pressure to the recommended level. Do not overinflate.
Listen and feel: Move around the spa wall listening for hissing and feeling for air escaping.
Soapy water test: Spray a mixture of water and dish soap on seams, valve, and suspected areas. Bubbles will form at leak points.
Valve check: Ensure the inflation valve is tight. If it leaks, reseat or replace the valve core if the design allows.
Patch leak: Mark the leak location, deflate the spa, and apply a PVC patch from a SaluSpa repair kit. Allow to cure fully before reinflating.

Warning: Do not use tire sealants or non-PVC adhesives; they can damage the liner.

Spa walls feel soft, sagging, or lose firmness over time; spa appears partially deflated.
