Replacing an entire jet assembly


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I hope you can help give me advice. I got a new spa from auction that obviously had a issue from factory. Found a very small leak like 1 drop every 3 seconds or so. So they put this black stuff everywhere to try and fix it, but obviously it's not where they put it. 

So 2 questions. What kind of jet assembly is this. It is a non-adjustable small jet. I think replacing the entire thing is best? 2nd is the water and air line going into the jet has the blue loctite type stuff on it. Is there a easy way to get that hose off? Where can I get this assembly online what is it called? Fyi this is a China made hot tub called Mona Lisa not well known but ai imagined the type of jet assembly used is somewhat universal?

Thanks,

Mike

Looks like a compression fit jet body. Starting to see these more and more and can see they will be problems going forward. Have not found available parts yet... but have not searched very hard.

My way to go.... Remove the jet from the jet body. Marine grade silicone bead around the jet body and the acrylic where the o-ring gasket sits. Create a barrier and see if it holds. If no it looks like the jet body can be pushed forward into the bather area. Not cutting the plumbing lines. If you can push it forward far enough to get at the gasket o-ring you could replace the gasket if you can find one or... take a second shot at silicone and use the same gasket.

The blue  Loctite type stuff is glue and you won't get the hose off the jet body without cutting it and reattaching it once the repair has been made. Hopefully they left enough spare 3/4" hose to reach back to the jet body again.
