bevbruce Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I have a 2001 Sweetwater Palermo spa made by Sundance. The union joint where it joins the 2 speed pump developed a leak. It drips when the pump isn't running and when it is running, the water coming out is a steady stream. I can't loosen the union joint. While noticing this problem, I also noticed that when the 2 speed pump is turned on, the 2 rear bolts on the pump aren't really holding the pump securely to the base of the spa, so for a second when turned on, it rocks for a second due to the force of the water flow. I think I can replace the wood under the pump so that the motor is secure, but my problem is that I'm guessing the constant torquing of the motor/pump really tighted the union joint (or even pinched the o-ring inside). In any case, I can't get the union joint unloosened. Any suggestions? Any hints on how to repair this? Any help would be appreciated along with suggestions you might have to fix this issue.

dg98adams Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 You can buy a simple strap wrench that won't mar the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
