How do I deal with spa leaks?

Hot bath leaks can be difficult to find and require a lot of investigation to reveal. Virtually every hot tub component tends to escape including pump, fittings and valves. Each of them must be checked even if tightening these components may be enough to solve the problem. Hot bathtubs with PVC tubes can easily develop cracks, but can be repaired using Plast-Aid®. If the leak could not be found during the first inspection, the placement of some dye in the water should help reveal the cause. After the power is switched off, check the leaking water under the pump. If the pump escapes in the hot tub, replace either the pump seal or the pump itself.

If the pump is OK, the next step is to look at the fittings surrounded by the pump; These have a habit very easy to relax. In fact, even new whirlpools may come with free fittings have been endangered during transport. These fittings should be tightened, if possible, because they are fine and can be damaged by the key.

Another cause of whirlpool leaks are valve -related problems. The valves connected together two halves often leaks because the seal between halves fails. Some whirlpools have valves installed on both sides of the pumps as they allow a fixed pump without having to turn off or drain the water. These can sometimes cause leaks and many whirlpool owners remove them when the bathtub begins to escape.

The rest of the jacket connection should also be thoroughly examined for leaks. It is possible to repair the leaks of hot tub by simply tightening some free connections, but some elements, such as leaking nozzles, will have to be completely replaced. Some whirlpools have PVC tubes that develop cracks and can be repaired using a molecular binding component, such as plastic-aidreg; This substance is designed to become heavier than the PVC material and should eliminate the spikes caused by crackedand pipes.

In some cases, the hot tub leaks cannot be solved by regular investigation. If it is clear that the bathtub is leaked without visible leakage, put the food dye in a hot tub. This is extremely effective because it allows an easily identifiable area of ​​leakage, although the hot tub area is already wet.
