  1. Thanks! Will that work on the metal as well as plastic?
  2. My family moved into a house that has a 1996 Hot Springs classic Model F four years ago. We drained it, cleaned it out, and didn't open it again until about a week ago. Now I am trying to get it work again. I have already solved a couple of other problems, including another leak that required removing some of the side, but I'm now having problems with leaking coming from the heater. It clearly was replaced at some point from what I can tell, it is a no-fault heater design almost identical to the design I show here. The leak is coming out of the end that is opposite the end where you connect all the tubes. I can't tell whether the housing at that end is cracked or whether the pipe is cracked. The leak is slow, about an inch every 10 hours. The heater is working fine. So, should I order another heater and install it despite the fact that the heater works? Should I unscrew that end and see where the leak is (hard to do but I have the tools) Should I apply plumbing caulk and hope for the best (my favorite option)? Thanks for your help, Nicole
