I think I have a leak-- update!

Anne,

If it is still leaking have "your dealer" check it out next time they are in the area.  If there is a workmanship issue you should not have to pay.

I dont know about the O ring. My dealer never called me today, so I guess we'll see what info I get on Monday, and see what happens between now and then. Thanks!

Probably was marginally tightened when last done and backed off a bit and just needed the tightening you gave it. Monitor your level and watch it. I've got $5 says you got it.

Anne-

PM me if you have any questions.   Check your water level and see if it lost any more.  The union (white ring you tightend) can infact loosen.  It looks like that was pump 1 which does the filtering/heating.

BTW, hand tightening is fine. Don't let anyone use big pair of channel locks on that nut as you can very easily break that it if you try that testosterone laden trick (not that I've done it).

Thank you all!

At 7 am when I left today, all was well- previous water dried up, and no dripping, pumps on or off, and no change in water level. It was  LLOONNGG day, but I'll check in again tomorrow. Thanks Michael- I'll PM you if I see anything. Thanks for checking in. Yes, it is pump #1. Hottubtommy, you give me more credit than i deserve....what the h%@^ is a sclice valve?  :-? Spatech, I'll try not to put too much of my testosterone driven beefy arm muscles in to the tightening.

Anne, a your Arctic Spa uses ball valves.

rather than slice or gate valves

They both do the same job of shutting off a water line.

Thanks to all who helped Anne out - great to see the forum working like that!
