    Cracks appearing in shell fiberglass

    As far as this hot tub is concerned it's 20 years old and I don't really want to put much more time or money into it. That's good to hear these type of cracks don't typically leak. If I can get another year or two out of it I would be happy and then look into get a new tub. As always, thanks...

    Cracks appearing in shell fiberglass

    When I was grinding open the bad spots with the Dremel I noticed that the cracks seem to have originated from the very fine spider webbing cracking in the top coat, whatever this is called. The very fine spider webbing is widespread. Can the surface be refinished, if so is it expensive, or has...

    Cracks appearing in shell fiberglass

    I appreciate the reply and information! If I remember correctly, I just sanded the surrounding area with 100 grit sandpaper and cleaned with rubbing alcohol. After I saw the repair failed I thought the same thing you mentioned that I probably should have opened up the crack and filled it...

    Cracks appearing in shell fiberglass

    You mentioned generally they don't leak but can be very unsightly. If I didn't do anything to them do you think it would be ok and not spread or cause any other problems? Do you think the plasti aid I put on is porous and that caused the black to come back through? If spa techs just put...

    Cracks appearing in shell fiberglass

    I was wondering if 20 years is about the end of the life of a fiberglass hot tub. There is not any equipment or anything in the areas of the staining. The staining is in multiple areas and not just one area. The only unique product I add to the water, other than routine maintenance products...

    Used Streamline, some jets not working.

    Okay got the jets working. After a call to a local spa dealer he told me you can turn the jets on and off by rotating the black ring of the jet. Hot tub newbie LOL :hammer: Now I need to get the little air ports in the seats working. I turn the blower on, it runs, but no bubbles.

    Used Streamline, some jets not working.

    Hello! I'm a newbie hot tub owner. I bought a used Streamline 5-person hot tub and just set it up this past weekend. We filled it improperly the first time by just sticking the garden hose in the hot tub. After the improper fill only about 4 out of 10 or so jets are working. The jets that...
