Yesterday a section of spillway tile came off when kids were playing in the area. I will be getting someone who knows what they're doing (hopefully) to repair it, but until then, I'm wondering if I need to cover it with tape and plastic to try to limit water from getting in the opening? I normally only run the spillway 20 minutes twice a day to limit calcium buildup on the spillover area, and I have turned off the spillway until I get this fixed. I think this is a bigger issue than just this area because there looks to be cracks in the grout all over the place, but the good news (I guess) is that I don't think I have a gunite leak because the spa holds its water level, at least to the top of the gunite if not the tile. It's slightly lower than the edge in the morning but I always assumed that was overnight evaporation.
