Theshroders Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Recently purchased a Wellis tub and went to drain and replace the water today. The drain plug is one where you are supposed to push it in, pull it all the wat out and then attach a hose. Ours is completely stuck. Will not move at all. Anyone got any ideas at all?

deadmeatdab Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 I'm having the exact same issue with my brand new Wellis! Did you have any luck getting your drain plug to open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM6687 Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 I had the same issue with my Wellis (Bueno Spa) when I purchased it in March. It was impossible to open it just using with the cap they have on the end of the drain. I connected a 4" long pressure reducer I had laying around from my lawn irrigation equipment, which gave me enough leverage to pop it open. You can probably just connect a normal garden hose to give you the proper leverage to pop it loose. Here's the actual pressure reducer I used to get it open the first time. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Mister-Landscaper-Polypropylene-Hose-Thread-Drip-Irrigation-Pressure-Regulator/1103273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmeatdab Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Thanks JWM6687, I'll give that a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 @deadmeatdab I always tell my customers not to use the drain. Weakest part of any hot tub. Buy a Quick Drain. You can use it to drain the spa but also as a vacuum to pick up small debris in the foot well and on the seats without loosing a bunch of water. https://www.poolstorecanada.ca/products/quick-drain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
