Spas
Spa & hot tub leak detection
Attached spas add jets, spillovers and extra plumbing, which means more places to leak. Leak detection companies test the spa along with the pool.
Common spa leak points
- Jet fittings and spa returns
- Spillover edges and dam walls
- Spa plumbing lines and valves
- Shell cracks
Standalone hot tubs
Portable hot tubs are often serviced by spa repair companies. Mention the brand if you know it.
Methods, equipment and prices vary by company. Ask each one how they test and what's included.
Questions
Does the spa need to be tested separately?
Often it's tested as part of the pool. Ask how the company handles it.
Why does my pool overflow into the spa?
Valve settings and spillovers can move water between them. A company can check during testing.
