    Half Jets Are Not Working

    I have rapidly reach the limits of my competence. I’m a new pool and hot tub owner (both came with the house I purchased in April). I have not touched the hot tub until the last several days.

    My spa jets have stopped putting out air bubbles

    My spa doesn’t have a dedicated blower. Instead there seems to be an air intake pipe that emits gargling sounds when I set my system in spa mode. That pipe is near the pool equipment, which is about 30 feet from where the spa is. When I turn on the spa mode, I hear the pump ramp up, and the...

    New build - spa losing water

    We have just had our pool start up and we noticed that when the system (pump and filter) is on, water was weeping out of the raised spa through one of the small pipes on the side. The company speculated that the jet was clogged, so they sent a technician yesterday to remove and replace all of...

    Quick Fix Suggestions Needed for Pipe Leak

    My hot tub was losing water quickly so I've let it drain to try to isolate where the leak might be. I am pretty confident that it is in the last 2 feet of piping that feeds the bubbler jets - so not an important pathway for filtration. The pipe is below ground and I really do not want to dig...
