If this does not beong here please delete it. I know it's not a "hot tub" but there are really no big communities for whirlpool tubs. I bought (what I believe to be) a Neptune whirlpool tub used but I can not find a model number anywhere on the tub only some type of sticker. It came with some damage to what I believe is an air line fitting at the bottom on the tub and I wanted to know if someone could ID this part for me. Also would this be an easy fix? Also could someone tell me if this tub uses a modern pipe design where the pvc is bent to allow water to drain completely after the tub is drained?

An issue popped up that perhaps you might be able to offer advice on. I think in moving the pipes to remove the pump I dislodge the intake flange in the tub. I took it apart and cleaned it as best as possible. The gasket seems to be good, not brittle etc. I am wondering what the best reassembly method would be. Should there be any glue or sealant between the gasket and tub? It looked like there was something there but it could also have been calcium build up from the hard water I have here. Also there looked like there was some kind of putty in the thread of the flange and silicone sealant between the flange and inside of the tub. Should I add some sealant to the threads? Would teflon tape work? Should I add silicone between flange and inside of the tub?

Hey Guys and Gals, I'm really hoping someone here can help me as I'm at a total loss... I recently moved into a new rental home and there is a nice 2006 Spa Coleman Hot Tub outback. It looks brand new. The owner of the property indicated it wasn't working but he would spend up to 200 on parts if I did the work to which I agreed to see if we can get it going. So first off it hasn't ran in about a year. The water in the tub is stone cold maybe 40 some degrees. When you power on the breaker the tub goes through what appears to be a self check and flashes 100 then 21 then 114 then 240 and then goes direct to an OHH (Overheat Code). I have verified DIP Switch 3 is on and all others are off as shown on the panel diagram. My immediate thought was one of the M7 sensors on the inline Balboa heater were bad. After pricing the 2 sensors I decided to just replace the entire heater with both sensors. The new heater cam today and I installed with both new M7 sensors it just fine with no issues and sure enough it still loads to the OHH screen. I am completely locked out of the panel all it will display is OHH and there is no function. Here are a few more factors that may help someone with more knowledge than me come to a conclusion... 1.) I can't find a rest button anywhere other than the GFCI Reset on the breaker panel. I have looked on the board and all along the power in cord. Am I Missing Something? 1A.) I have hosed out the filter. 2.) When I leave the power to the tub even though the OHH remains on the tub does go into its standard cycle and powers on jets to circulate water every 15 minutes. 3.) If I switch on DIP Switch 10 I get message CFE then A10. Which I understand is a programing mode for the factory and not supposed to be used by the end user. I didn't mess with it to screw up programing but did this to verify the board is in fact communicating with the topside panel. In my logic this says the board is working at least somewhat. 4.) Could it be the sensor inside the tub? That will be a bear to change the way its on the tub so I'm hoping to stay away from that if it's not the likely culprit. At the end of the day it's not my hot tub but I have a 2 year lease here and am willing to spend a few bucks to get it going. The one local spa place here charges 200 just to come out and have a look and then 150 per hour which I can't afford for just a diagnostic! Please help! I'd love to hear if you've ever experienced this or something similar and what the fix was. Happy New Year Everyone! Justin

So, hoping someone can answer my question. Thanks in advance if you can. I had a major leak on my Down East hottub. Tracked it down to, what I believe is called, the bleeder plug. The O-ring looks to be shot. The problem I am having is that I can't get it to screw back into the fluid end. I have not replaced the o-ring and don't know if I may have a bigger problem. It somewhat screws in when I take the o-ring completely off. I hope this makes sense and it's a common problem. I have pictures of what I am calling the bleeder plug. https://ibb.co/jPdjxn https://ibb.co/dXEPxn

Good morning, all! My husband and I have been looking to purchase a hot tub for about a year now, but simply cannot bring ourselves to spend $6k+ on a brand new tub. I was poking around online yesterday and happened to find a used 2005 Sundance Cadence hot tub that a woman was giving away for free, as long as we haul. We went to check it out same day and loved it- it's a great tub and looked well maintained. We have to figure out how to move it, so I started calling a few local hot tub haulers. The one who got back to me said he would politely decline the job as the Sundance tubs from that time period are made with a type of wood that often rots out from underneath. He said the bottom of the tub may detach from the rest of it when we try to move it onto its side. My husband is very handy and it doesn't phase him that he may need to rebuild some of the base, but it scared me a bit. Has anybody dealt with this? Is this really a very common issue with the Sundance tubs? We'll now be moving it ourselves so we're trying to figure out those logistics, too. Thank you.

I recently bought a house that came with a Sundance brand hot tub. I've had a guy come out and fix one obvious leak that was there and since then I've discovered another leak. I've tried Fix-a-Leak on it, and it worked initially, but the leak is back. It's coming from a large opening behind the electronics panel on the side of the tub.

I'm looking for a good used hot tub that's not too expensive but not so cheap that it will be a hole in the pocket. I found someone local selling a 2004 Sundance Altimar spa and they listed it for $1500. It comes with a cover and is in good working condition. Is that a good price? Anything to be cautious of?
