Hello to all,
I am new to this forum and very happy to join your community. I bought a house that has a Hotspring Jetsetter hot tub in it. To my surprise, it works fine but lately there has been a crack appearing on the side.
It seems that the wood at the base suffered a bit from the moisture, which caused a weakness in the middle of the structure generating the crack.
I would like to repair both the cause of the problem and its consequence.
I've never repaired a Jacuzzi, I don't even know what it looks like underneath so I'm here for advice.
Here is what I plan to do:
1/ Drain the Jacuzzi and unplug it.
2/ Protect it (the shell) with covers
3/ Tilt it on its side (I'm alone. Is it heavy?)
4/ Fix aluminum plates under the Jacuzzi to raise it a few millimeters and allow the water to drain. Indeed, underneath, it's tiles and when there's a little water coming through, I think it stagnates and makes the wood rot. This will allow me to put everything straight with a spirit level.
5/ return the hot tub to its normal position
6/ Watch the crack to see if it tightens.
7/ Repair the crack with a repair kit (I don't know what to chose and where to buy it though)
I'm interested in your observations and advice for this project. I don't know anything about it and I'm afraid to make mistakes.
Thank you very much for your help.
