SoakedLevi Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 My 2015 Beachcomber has been leaking, seems to be coming from the drain hose (and hopefully nowhere else). It seems to be a crack or hole where the valve goes over the hose. Any Ideas on how to remove the valve without cutting the hose? Main reason for not cutting the hose would be that I can only do that so many times before have to replace the hose, or seal the hose and then just buy a sump pump. @nd question, if I did decide to seal up the hose, whats the best way to do that? Can you get a different cap for the drain part of the hot tub? or do I just open the valve and fill it with sealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoakedLevi Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 @dashmer, added a pic now, sorry. You can see the cap/valve goes over the hose, the leak comes out from inside that cap along the bottom of the hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Pic no work. Anytime I get a leaking drain I cap it and forget it. I also tell customers to never use it. Weakest part in any spa. Most you have to turn pull push turn push pull and the glue fitting in behind is bound for failure. Buy a Quick Drain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrKqC4CIxTI https://thehottubsuperstore.com/product/3-4-cap-slip/ might be 1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Quick Drain seems great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Some use this.. https://pondsonline.ca/christy-s-red-hot-blue-glue-1-4-pint.html I use Weld-On 725 (no Primer needed... well it might be but I have never) https://www.pioneerfamilypools.ca/store/ips-725-wet-r-dry-glue-14-pint-blue/ Any local pool shop should have a 1/4 Pint of something for wet/dry application. Work quick you have 2.5- 4 seconds max once to 2 parts are put together. Lather both the inside of the cap and the hose in the spa and make sure to get it all the way on. Ready for water in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
