Why Is My Hot Tub Leaking? How to Find and Repair Spa Leaks

Locate a leak on a hot tub or swim spa

Before you can effectively repair a hot tub, the first step is locating the leak or leaks. Identifying the common areas where leaks tend to occur is crucial, whether it’s in a hot tub or swim spa. With Glow Leak, you can trace the leak with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring you address the issue at its source. This precision not only simplifies the repair process but also saves you time and resources, making Glow Leak an essential tool for every hot tub maintenance professional.

Most Common Reasons for a Leaking Hot Tub

The Pump

One of the most common locations where a hot tub leak can arise is the circulation pump If you’re going to check this location, be sure to turn off the power and check under the pump for leaking water.

There are typically three causes of leaking pumps: the shaft seal, unions, or the volute:

Seal Shaft: If the shaft seal has failed, you can order a new seal without replacing the entire pump
Union Fitting: A union fitting is a three-part connector located at the entrance and exit. It could simply need to be tightened (don’t use a wrench to do this!), the o-ring might need to be adjusted, or you may need a new one.
Volute: If the volute is your issue, where the impeller is housed, you most likely need to replace it.

The Heater

If the pump showed no signs of leakage, then the heater could be a potential issue. Within the heater are the heater itself, the pressure switch, and other components – any of which could be the culprit. It’s possible an individual component can be replaced, but more than likely you will need to replace the entire heater, or have someone repair it.

Valves

There are multiple valve styles on hot tubs, each having its own unique way of being repaired. Some spas have valves installed on one side of the pump so water doesn’t have to be shut off or drained when the pump needs repair. Other valves have compartments bolted together with a gasket between the compartments—this is known to fail and cause a leak. Be sure to inspect all valves located on your hot tub and replace any as necessary.

Connections

Be sure to check all pipes, jets, and any other connections. Some connections are easy and only need to be tightened or sealed while others may need a full replacement. If you have a failing gasket, be sure you order the right parts as there are different gaskets for different style spas.

Spa Shell

Most shells are made of strong fiberglass combined with other layers, so you would think a leak could never happen here. In many cases, it’s not the shell that causes problems, but a jet or other component attached to the shell.
