Saved my butt! I was tearing out all the insulation from underneath the hot tub and then I thought somebody would probably make a video on how to find leaks in hot tubs. Gasket had gone to crap on a small drain plug on the pump.
2 mo old jacuzzi started leaking. very visable water collection right side of jacuzzi. Access panel at front, filter is front right corner. pulled out some insulation and there was a little bit of wet inside under filter. side with the visible water collection very bottom of inside had very small amount of wetness. No jets on that side wall but there are jets at the corner/connecting wall. all other areas dry except middle bottom which i cannot access. Any thoughts. Thanks!
What is your go to silicone? I am having issues in a number of spots. One is the skimmer inlet, it seems like the silicon did a poor job of adhering to the plastic of the skimmer
My lazy spa palm springs hydrojet has water in the air intake any clues? The jets didnt work. Ive checked seals. I got one jet nozzle off and changed the gasket but cant get the others off.
Going to be the jets themselves or the diverter for the air. The diverter o-rings and other air control parts are easier to replace. If the tub is older, the jets might have to be broken to come out.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas yes itslooking that way i could only get one off and that washer was broken. Only 2 sets of jets (4nozzles) didnt work so im assuming its those to blame
TH-cam has cut off a lot of my videos. Mostly at the start. Audio issues also. Over 50 videos affected. Thanks for catching this one. Will be redoing this video soon.
Yearly maintenance will save you a lot of money.
I've had the gate valve break as you describe; fortunately, mine was the screw-together type, and I replaced the innards.

What's near the middle bottom? Plus. Is there foam up high that is or was wet?

@@VIPPoolsandSpas thanks for that so once sorted those ill have to empty the water from within the liner behind the air intake?
Still heavy so loads of water still in there i guess
