Title: Rubber duck stuck in hot tub
Post by: Geddes630 on April 03, 2011, 10:18:50 pm

Hi, I was just draining and refilling my tub tonight, and I think I possibly sucked a rubber duck into the pipe where my filter goes. My tub is a sundance optima 850. Any ideas on how to get it out? Thanks

IF it is in the plumbing, the ducks nose is grinding at the face of the impellar.  Open the union on the suctions side that comes from the filter and inspect.  That would be the union attached to the side-center of the pump.  IF it is not there, try a plumbing "snake" going in at the union until it comes out at the filter stem.
