MEH Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I have an Arctic Spa hotub. It is leaking like a sieve( in winter loses about 10 inches of water a week in warmer temps about 6 inches) . The dealer can't fix it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try. It is supposed to have a 5 year warranty but he said too bad not my problem. It started leaking when it was two years old. Sometimes when I am in it and the night is quiet I can hear the drip drip drip of water inside. I've had the sides off it. I don't know where it is dripping from. there are no leaks evident around the outside of the hottub but there are always puddles inside on the floor of the hot tub. I also can occasionally hear the swoosh of moving pooled water underneath the hottub if I move about in the hottub. That is how bad it is. Anyone have any ideas that could help me. Is there a manual on hot tub maintenance and construction that anyone can recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a manual on hot tub maintenance and construction that anyone can recommend? I have a 5 yo Solana TX that started leaking last season upon opening. After 2 months, and about $360.00 it was fixed by the dealer tech. It took them 4 visits. They ended up tearing out foam insulation to locate the leak. It was in a supply pipe to the back outlets. This is my first and last hot tub, I'll use the money on gas and heating oil next time If yours is leaking that badly, you have nothing to lose trying to find the leak your self and affecting a repair.

MEH Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hmm. Thanks fpr the suggestion of where to look. I am already thinking we are going to have to repair it ourselves as the dealer won't and what do you do with a leaky hottub. My talent is education not in hottub repair however I suppose one should always be open to the opportunity of learning new skills :-) Most people these days worry about the cost of fuel. For us because we have to haul our water we worry about the rising cost of hauling water. It is precious and besides the inconvenience we cannot afford to be topping up a hottub every week with our hauled water. All that aside I love a hottub and if this cannot be fixed will be sad to let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis B Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'm surprised the dealer isn't covering this. The Arctics have a pretty good warranty. Have you tried contacting Arctic? It's worth a try. Just go to their website and email them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear that you are having this issue. We do honor our warranty and I'll do my best to help you. I see that you've sent additional information in a PM so please give me a chance to contact your dealer and investigate. If you have also emailed the company, that email will also come to me. I ask your patience as I look into this. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
