Shrunken or cracked jet gaskets, Loose jet body retaining nut, Freeze damage to jet body, Chemical degradation of seals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and lower the water level below the leaking jets before attempting repairs.

Steps to repair jet leaks:

  • Identify leaking jets: Fill the spa slightly above the suspected jets and watch from the equipment bay or underside for drips.
  • Access jet backs: Remove side panels or insulation as needed to reach the back of the leaking jet bodies.
  • Tighten retaining nut: Gently tighten the plastic retaining nut on the back of the jet body. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the body.
  • Replace gasket: If tightening does not stop the leak, remove the jet body and replace the gasket or the entire jet body with Strong Spas-compatible parts.

When to call a technician: If access is difficult or multiple jets are leaking, professional service is advisable.
