martyouel Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi, i'm the owner of an Artesian Spa. Serie Island spa, model Grand Cayman. Bought in th 2010 I noticed a few weeks ago a leak in my spa. The concrete around the spa is always wet and I found that i'm losing about 1/2 inch by 3 days. I started to try finding the leak. My last test was this one : - I emptied completely the spa - let it dry for 1 week (everything was now dry around the spa) - fill it up with only 1 foot of water (just to have water above all the holes (jets, pump intake, pump outake, etc.) in the foots area - let it sit for 24 hours (i didn't start any pump) I then noticed again a leak...some water came out around the spa. So, my guess is good (i think) that the leak is somewhere around the foot area. Now, my interrogation is : is there any "common issue" or easy thing that I can try based on my investigation ? I don't know but maybe it can be just a gasket or something like that. I would like to try everything before having to flip the spa on the side to access the under foot area. Any help will be appreciate. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tperk Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 It could be in any of the suction lines going to the pumps since the suction holes are submerged. I would take off the door and look at your pump and heater unions before tipping the spa on its side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyouel Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yup...already done this investigation. Everything's fine around my 3 pumps and heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Suction leaks sometimes respond well to "Fix-A-Leak." It's a little involved to treat the spa, but still a lot less work than tipping it over and ripping the bottom out. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyouel Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hi Dave, already gave a try to Fix-A-Leak.... 2 complete treatments...I read a lot of good reviews so I was convinced that it will work...but no..not for me. I had some exchange with a certified Artesian technician and he saw in the past a few leaks coming from the water return line of the circulation pump. So, I have no choice to flip the spa but now i'm trying to find a schema that can point me out what is exactly the "return line". my guess is either a or b on my picture.
