Hi, everyone, new here and would appreciate any advice!
2010 Clearwater St. Andrews leaking from the drain plug. I do believe it's the fitting itsell that's leaking, because it "spins" when you go to turn it/push it in, and it started right after I used the drain plug for the first time in years. I have the replacement part, but it seems to be difficult to GET to it without pulling out the pipe on top of it, etc. A few questions...
1. Do I need to drain the tub to do this repair? Looks like there are shutoff valves (not sure that's the correct term) nearby, but I've seen references on this forum to draining and basically jacking up the spa for a drain plug repair.
2. Would Fix-a-Leak work on something like this? I'll probably do the part swap regardless, because it needs a new pump and heater so I don't want to put those in until I'm sure the leak is fixed.
Thanks in advance!
Ellen
