New seal held for 24 hours...then started leaking again yesterday...very frustrating.
Sounds about right. The fill and test really should not happen the same day - assuming he uses PVC cement and silicone. Those really need 24 hours to fully set, especially in cold weather. This is a bit controversial, many repair guys glue it, fill it and bill it, but if you CAN wait, I say wait.Of course, if freezing is a problem...
So, we had a local hot tub repairman come out and take a look...its a cracked jet.He is quoting about $350 parts and labor. He also would add another $100 to fill and test afterwards.We had him go ahead and order the part. I'm assuming this is not an easy repair (say, like the manifold which was pretty straightforward). Is this a pretty fair quote? The $100 to stick around and fill and test seems a little outrageous. I can fill and test...any problems should be covered, right?
