mrsk925 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 We inherited this hot tub when we bought our house and have noticed the main drain plug is leaking. We've wrapped in with plumbers tape but there is still a leak. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Use a new gasket (garden hose type- available at any hardware store)- it's not meant to be a watertight tight thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsk925 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 We think it may not be coming from the cap now but maybe somewhere in the cap, is that an easy fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Not sure I follow, if the cap is cracked, just pick up another one in the garden section of your local hardware store (not the pvc section) It's a garden hose thread. Be sure you have a new gasket as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsk925 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sorry I don't think I explained that very well at all. The leak may be coming from the drain tube not the cap, how would we locate/fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtyogi Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 My Bengal has started leaking from the drain tube as well. Were you able to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Look very closely inside the equipment compartment, and particularly around the light for any sign of moisture, that may end up below the pan and end up coming out of the hole that is drilled for the drain.
