Hello, I have a Tiger River Spa Siberian Model L that recently started leaking from the drain valve. I was taking off the service panel door and the corner hit the drain pipe (I didn't think it hit that hard...) and it started a pretty solid leak (I'd estimate a gallon a minute). Only the tip of the drain pipe sticks out from the housing, as you can see in the attached picture, and from what I saw the leak is further back where you can't get to or see. I'm actually looking to sell this hot tub, but obviously I don't want to sell this to someone with this leak. Is this something that I could fix myself, or do I need to hire a professional for this? If so, what would something like that cost and what would it entail? The hot tub came with the house, so I'm not even sure how old it is, but judging from what years this model was made it seems to be 15-20 years old. Given that, what price should I be selling this hot tub for? Before I decided to sell it, I bought a new cover for $600 since the old one was waterlogged, and I was also planning to give the buyer all the chemicals, test strips, spare filters and the water pump I have since I won't need it without the tub. Is $1000 a good price?

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
