Welcome to our forum.
I get no pleasure trying to berate HS, other than ribbing Chas a bit.
I thought you liked wings - not ribs?
Lori,Please keep us posted about what caused the leak and how it is repaired. Thanks again for all the good advice that you gave me. It was very much appreciated.Kathy
Good luck and don't panic. A good tech should complete repairs in one visit.
Bummer. Curious. How many miles is the tub from the dealer/service center? When was the tub put into service? Is the water pooling on the drainage/lower side of the patio? How much water is lost (inches) in a day, in a week?How many people use the spa regularly?Was the spa overfilled by mistake after the water loss was first noticed?Has a visual inspection of the equipment bay been made?If adjustable, are all the jets open?If equipped with venturi air controls, are the air controls open or closed?Are there any spa controls on the spa shell rim just above the pooling water? Don't be offended by this one: If the spa has been in use for over a year, is there any evidence of small mammal activity?Finally, did the service center ask all of these questions?Good luck and don't panic. A good tech should complete repairs in one visit.
If the leak is coming from the motor compartment and running under the tub, yes.But if the leak is in the foam, several visits will be in order:Troubleshoot and locate the leak by doing a bit of Foam digging.Next drain the tub, or come back when it's empty and do the reapir. It is best to let pvc plumbing repairs set overnight to cure.Next fill the tub and water test. If good, refoam and get a signature on the Warranty Service Claim.
Just how long has your tub been leaking? Looking at the picture, there appears to be quite a bit of residue (mineral buildup?) on the lower part of the frame (the black part under the skirt.) Just curious.
Sorry to hear about your spa leaking Lori. Next time around maybe you should buy a REAL spa.Just bustin Chas' chops.
