Started filling it up a few weeks ago, and just as we approached about 3/4 of the way full, I hear a loud gushing.... One of the check valves on a Jet line blew apart.
I capped the line just to see if she continues to hold water, and i noticed more water running out from the back side of the tub...

So here is what im dealing with now... a crack in the backside manifold.
As much as I would love to cut it out and replace with a fresh piece... im thinking some WaterWeld and then a rubber PVC coupler around the joint will get me back in order. Or at least help me confirm that it holds water and nothing else is broken. |
Previous owner left us a giant hottub also. That thing was a total nightmare! I even had a repair guy who fixed several leaks and even he gave up and said I should just get rid of it.
Easier said than done and it was in my screened in patio taking up half of it.
When we redid the screen enclosure I moved it out to the backyard. Continued leaking out there, them pumps and shit started failing.
Finally paid my lawn guy a couple hundred bucks and he chopped that shit up into pieces and got rid of it. Best thing I ever did. I have one of those inflatable Coleman hot tubs now and I love it!
