No, that's not something I have the capability of doing -- it'll have to wait until everyone is back at work and have someone out. But I'd be interested in exploring blocking the drains as a temporary fix so that we can have a warm-water outside swimming pool for the kids! Better than nothing!

Yes, exactly! It's right at the base of the spa where you screw/unscrew the drain. If someone could identify which drains I would need to block, along with how to do it, it might be the easiest thing to do until I can have a tech out. And I'm sure it wasn't properly winterized so freezing is a definite possibility. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello all -- I recently re-filled my Hot Springs spa after it being unused for a while. Initially, everything seemed fine. I filled it with my hose and there was a little water near the drain, but I frankly thought that was just water that had spilled. But once I turned the jets on, water immediately started leaking out of the drain area. I figured I had not put the drain cover on correctly, so I tried tightening it. No change. I even tried replacing the cover with another valve, and it is still leaking. From what I can tell, the water is coming out from *around* the drain pipe and not actually leaking from the drain pipe. In fact, if I press down a little on the drain, the water either slows a little or goes faster. Any ideas what might be happening and how to fix? And in the meantime, I'm thinking about trying to cover the up the drain from inside the tub to stop the water leaking out. Any concerns with doing that? Any suggestions for how to do it? I am not a particular hand person, but given that we're all locked down, I'd appreciate any thoughts on things I should try! Many thanks! Abe

I got a spa as a surprise for my wife. But after many years of visiting Japan, she just finds it too cold, so we don't really use it. Anyone in NJ interested in helping my make it hotter? I'm not technical, but happy to compensation someone for their time! Let me know? It's a Hot Springs, about a year or two old!
