Possible Causes
Leaking jet gasket behind foam, Small crack in plumbing, Leaking light fitting or suction fitting, Excessive evaporation due to poor cover seal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power if water level drops near suction fittings or below skimmer.
- 1. Rule out evaporation:
- Ensure the cover seals tightly and is not waterlogged.
- Mark the water level and monitor over 24–48 hours with the spa off.
- 2. Inspect cabinet:
- Remove panels and look for damp insulation or wet spots.
- 3. Dye test (optional):
- Use a spa-safe dye near suspected fittings (lights, jets) to see if dye is drawn into a leak.
- 4. Address accessible leaks:
- Tighten or reseal accessible fittings and replace gaskets as needed.
- 5. Hidden leaks in foam: These often require specialized leak detection and foam excavation. Contact a Wellis technician.
