OK, I did the DIY leak detection, 16 ounces of blue food coloring in the hot tub and look for light blue water leaks. I found what i thought were the leaks, replaced the pieces, drained the blue water and refilled. Still leaked, looked around more, found a broken air pump and replaced. The leaks continued.
I called Spa Kingdom and setup an appointment. They came out found the leak in 10 minutes, drained the spa and dried and cleaned the area. Then applied a sealant told me to leave spa empty for at least 24 hours, I went for 48, and then OK to fill. NO leaks!!!

Spa Kingdom was excellent, the inspection and repair was ONE trip, cost for around 3 hours of work was around $300 and was lower than 2 other estimates I had received both of which had an initial inspection and then a follow-up repair.

Glad they found it.

Did you watch see how the found it and fixed it for future leaks do it yourself fixes? I sure would have.

Sometimes you just have to call “the man”, LOL. I am sure with their specific “spa” (not Ska) name they deal with this stuff on a daily basis. Glad you fixed it.

I watched the entire time and followed their advice to avoid future leaks.

I had big hot tube in OKC, was pain fixing leaks, but that model the panels came off with access. The inside floor of the hot tub started getting lumpy. I guess be attacked from underneath by ants (Carpenter ants) or some type insects. I moved before it became problem..
