Saratoga Spas Backflow / Check Valve or Diverter Leak

Water continuously dribbles from one or more jets even when pumps are off.

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 diverter valve seals, Failed check valve in plumbing, Siphoning from elevated plumbing loop

Safety: Turn off power before disassembling valves.

Operate diverter valves: Turn diverter knobs through all positions to see if the leak changes. A specific position causing flow indicates worn seals.
Inspect diverter internals: Remove the diverter cap and handle to access the internal gate and o-rings. Replace worn or cracked seals.
Check for check valves: Some Saratoga Spas use check valves to prevent backflow. A technician can locate and replace a failed check valve.
