rdefino Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi all, I have a 7yr, Dimensions 1 Californian hottub. I have it inside in a sunporch on a tile floor. I noticed some water coming out the bottom, so I open the main front panel and saw one of the shutoff valve dripping water from the valve plunger (used to close the valve). Any idea how to replace this valve if I got a new one? Not sure how to remove it. I attached a picture of where the valve is located. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg98adams Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 You will have to remove the white foam so you an get to the back side and see how it's attached. It's either 1.5" or 2". If it's glued then you will have to cut it off... really depends on the type of gate or slide valve. Here is some other views. http://www.spadepot.com/shop/Gate-Valves-C722.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaSage Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Eh... That's going to be a pain to replace. If it were my tub I would just seal around the plunger with it in the open position. Unfortunately, this means that you would need to drain the spa if you want to remove that pump... but that should be a very rare occurrence.

dg98adams Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would see if you could keyhole saw the plastic foam? behind the valve, and if you can get to the backside of the valve, cut it out and replace. Working on any tub is a pain, but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
