Kingwilly Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Does anyone know what is between the outside shell and the inner access pump plastic insert? Where the light assembly goes through? Is there all foam or just fiberglass insulation? If it leaks through the shell into the pump access compartment, can it only be a leak around the light or could the water travel from a jet opening leak to the light area?

Hot Spring Official Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 The material in between the spa shell and the interior equipment compartment is a Hollowfill insulation. The spa light lens is the most likely place for that drip to originate. You'll want to examine the surface of the lens for damage as well as check for water intrusion through lens perimeter.

Kingwilly Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Will JB Water Weld around the perimeter work? It is so hard to tell. The original light was retrofitted with the new light/housing and it was permanently sealed into place. Not caulked. They used a white sealer that set up pretty rigid. I think I will scuff up the area around the light and put the JB Weld around the perimeter. If the shell is filled with foam then it doesn't make sense that the water is leaching all the way around to the equipment compartment. Thanks for the help.
