What Do I Do If My Hot Tub is Leaking?

2/6/2021

6 Comments

 
Let’s be honest for a second here: no matter how high quality your hot tub is and no matter how well you take care of it, leaks are an unfortunate reality with hot tubs.  After all. They’re giant tubs of rushing water that are especially heavy and on for long periods of time...that’s going to lead to a leak at some point or another and you’ll want to make sure that you are properly prepared for handling it.

What to do if you have a leaky hot tub
    As a responsible hot tub owner, dealing with a hot tub has a few steps to help protect you, your home, your loved ones and, of course, your hot tub!  Here are the general steps to help you manage.

  1. Turn off the water and electrical access: As soon as you notice the leak, you should turn off all water access to the hot tub and also the electricity.  Since you won’t be using it before you have it repaired, there is no inconvenience.  This is important for safety and to prevent any far-reaching damage, so keep this in mind!

  1. Call in help as soon as you notice it: The other thing to remember is to call in a repair order as soon as you notice the leak.  Sometimes hot tub owners will just wait because they don’t think it’s a big deal, or they don’t want the expense, but the sooner you get someone in to work on it, the sooner it’ll be safely repaired.

  1. Get familiar with the basic lingo: Sometimes the hot tub specialist will ask you questions over the phone about your hot tub, so it’s a good idea to know basic terms like the filter, the heater, gaskets, etc.  You can also take a bit of time to understand how it all works even if it’s just generally.  This can help evaluate the problem over the phone and give you more of an understanding of the repairs to expect, too.

  1. Inspect to see if you can source the leak: If you’re comfortable doing it, get up close and personal with the leak. Sometimes understanding where the leak is coming from can help you inform your repair technician, or at least just give them a great starting point to work from.

  1. Be ready for repair costs: keep in mind that repairs will cost a pretty penny.  From the fee for the consultation to the problem itself to labour, it all adds up and you’ll need to make sure you don’t skimp on the amount.  The cheapest repair option is not always the best recommended, so be careful here.

    There’s never a good time for a leaky hot tub and it’s certainly frustrating, but it will happen.  Being prepared can help keep it as stress-free and as safe as possible, not to mention that it can even help you feel involved in the process!  Whatever approach you take, knowing what to do and how to do it is important when you have a leak.

It made sense when you instructed that as soon as you catch the leak, you should immediately call a hot tub repair service. I'll make sure to follow the steps you shared here if I notice a leak in my hot tub. I should also look for a hot tub repair service now, so I know who to call if that happens.

I'm glad that you talked that turning off the system of your spa is necessary for safety. My cousin mentioned the other day that he was looking for solution to have their spa repaired because of leaks. I'm thankful for this helpful article, I'll be sure to tell him that it will be much better if we consult a trusted spa service as they can provide information about the repair process.

It's interesting that you said that knowing where the leak is originating from might assist you in communicating with your repairman. My mother claims that her hot tub is leaking. I want to get her a new hot tub as a surprise. I'll go to a hot tub store to get the perfect equipment for my mother.

I think my hot tub has been leaking, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It makes sense that I would want to get my spa drained properly before I have any repairs done. That way, I don't have to worry about water damaging the hot tub's interior.

Hey, thanks for reminding us to turn off all electrical access in the event our hot tub is leaking. I do agree that this is often an overlook ed. I will definitely keep this information in mind when I look at having a hot tub installed.
