Possible Causes

Loose pump union on Villeroy & Boch jet or circulation pump, Cracked heater manifold, Split vinyl hose, Failed glue joint on PVC fittings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker and avoid standing in water near electrical components.

  • Locate leak source: Remove the access panel and use a flashlight to identify where water is dripping or spraying.
  • Tighten unions: Hand-tighten pump and heater unions. Do not overtighten with tools as this can crack fittings.
  • Temporary repair: For small drips on hoses, you may apply a temporary hose clamp. However, permanent repair requires replacing the damaged hose or fitting.

Significant leaks, especially from the heater manifold or glued PVC joints, should be repaired by a spa technician to ensure long-term reliability.
