Possible Causes
Loose pump unions, Cracked PVC fittings, Failed heater union O-rings, Leaking jet body gaskets
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Electrical and slip hazard: Turn off power at the breaker. Avoid standing in pooled water while working.
- Identify leak source: Remove the equipment panel and use a flashlight to trace drips while the spa is filled. Look around pump unions, heater unions, and valves.
- Tighten unions: Hand-tighten any loose pump or heater unions. Do not overtighten with tools, as this can crack fittings.
- Replace O-rings: If water seeps from heater unions, drain the spa below the heater level, disassemble the unions, and replace the O-rings with Hanscraft-compatible seals. Reassemble and refill.
Leaks from jets or plumbing behind the shell often require partial foam removal and should be handled by a spa technician.
