Discouraged Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 We just bought a condo with a 540 Beachcomber hot tub. After two weeks, the water level dropped 8”. Since we had not used the tub in the two weeks of purchasing the condo, we question why the water levels dropped so quickly as we also own a hot tub at our home and water never drops as much. We checked all the motor housing and pump connections, and found no evidence of a leak. Discouraged, we called a local hot tub retailer and technician to come out and look at it. It was clear to the professional in seeing 3 jet covers missing and the deteriorating seals around the jets, this was determined to be the source of the water leaking. We even sent messages and pictures for confirmation to the manufacturer and they agreed. Of course the previous owner claimed the hot tub sprung a leak after we bought the condo. Now we are heading to the courts for a remedy. Anyone with any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Marine grade Silicone around the jets where the jet body meets the acrylic. Otherwise you will have to remove/disconnect the pumps and pack and then stand the spa up and remove the bottom to be able to fix from the inside of the cabinet.

After two weeks, the water level dropped 8”. Was it empty and you filled it, or was it already full? What chems did you use and how much? If empty, it is very possible that they did not have a leak before, as deteriorated gaskets can dry and crack. The damage is the result of chemical issues, usually long-term, but may not have leaked a drop before being left empty for a few days or more. Still their fault in my opinion, but perhaps they didn't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
