The spa has to empty to raise or lower. If the wiring has extra cable it can be left connected. The best way is to have something like I heavy duty hand truck or jack, something that won't bend. stick it under the middle on 1 side pry up and stick the 2- 4x4's under corner on a angle. then do the other side. keep alteranting sides until you get high enough. The spa can be refilled while on the blocks. start with 1/2 full than add water in needed. only do this as a last ditch effort. Many thanks. I'll try it next weekend. -G

Thanks, I did check all the visible plumbing, seals and unions. I replaced my heater two years ago, so I was familiar with issues around those areas. It is figuring out which jets/injectors are suspect. I will look for discolorations. Thanks. I have never done anything like putting my spa up on blocks. I have a few questions maybe you (or someone) can help me with: Are there any cautions when raising the spa? Do I have to disconnect the wiring first? Are they designed to be able to be filled with (some) water when suspended? Do you need a jack to raise then up onto the blocks, or can just 1 or 2 people do it? Regards, Greg

Hi, My spa is a Coleman Horizon 400 (447 Beach Gran) purchased by the previous owners of my house in 1997. Recently is started leaking slowly (about 1/8" per day). The water jets on the sides look good, but I cannot see the water or air jets at the bottom because of all the urethane spray foam. My questions: 1) What is the best way to diagnose a leak of this kind? 2) Is there a preferred method of removing foam to see what is going on around the jets? Any pitfalls or suggestions? I am fairly handy, but I see no straightforward way to diagnose this problem and am hoping there is some collected wisdom that I can tap into. Thanks, Greg
