  1. Thanks you wouldn't happen to have a pic of what discoloration of the leak looks like exactly I'm off next week so weather permitting I plan on probing from the sides with some dowel to find the wettest area(s) and if possible tunnel in from the side what would you recommend I replace the spry foam on the bottom of the tub with? a small hole I can re-foam but if the areas large the foam kits are expensive here I have pretty good side access due to previous owners rodent problem pics from reconstruction long completed this was a test frame and fill bottom corners are round
  2. the spa controller and that black plastic its attached to is in the way for side access and its a LONG reach! I redid all the wood when I got this spa as it was rotted so it supports itself fine on its side I'm not convinced its the seals between the tub and jets as it 100% leaks when I run the footwell jets When the tub is left idle the water level does NOT drop I'm in Ajax can you recommend anyone out this way? be a long drive for you! if I cant get this fixed myself
  3. thanks tried it 3 times this one http://www.fixaleak.com/ it did not even slow it down last time i ran pumps for 8 hours drained tub and left it empty for 6 days I used 3-4 more ounces then recommended 2nd time
  4. you mean the two under the lounge seat? see pic is the actual jets or the lines/fittings or the jet gasket in your experience? because I would need to order parts that can take me weeks to get. looks to me that the ONLY way I can get to it would be to tip it up again and tunnel in from the bottom.... My concern is that while tipped up I cant have water in it to see the actual leak(s) do you happen to know the part numbers of those jets or what they call them I would like to look them up in a parts diagram so I can see what's involved the pic is when i got the tub its currently down and being used
  5. Hi I hope someone here can help I got a 2001 sundance altamar for free this spring it needed work had 2 leaks which we fixed and enjoy it twice a day I had noticed water level dropping about 1.5-2 inch per week but chalked it up to us using it so much. I had the sides off and poked around and noticed the foam is wet on the bottom nearer the middle a lot of the foam was removed on the sides of tub due to rodents (previous owner said) I repacked it with roxul insulation the roxul is bone dry we left the tub off for 48 hours after making water level it did NOT drop we ran recirculating pump for 24 hours NO drop we ran the 2 speed filtration pump for 12 hours NO drop we ran the 1 speed pump (message seat and footwell jets) for 12 hours water level dropped (i had diverter in the middle now I will pick chair then footwell jets to figure out which side) this "circuit" has the message seat jets which were dry when i opened it and the 2 foot well and one side jet side jet was also dry there are also 3 suction lines I have tried fix a leak 3 times no luck its getting cold here (Toronto Canada) so I want to try and fix before winter I plan on tunneling into the foam where its wettest as there is a suction line a foot or so in anyone dealt with this tub any plumbing diagrams? I would prefer not to tip it up but I may have to if leak is on bottom middle this thing weighs a ton!
