Fix A Leak 8 oz.
Our main product for Hot Tub and Spa Leaks.
Fix A Leak is a blended-concentrated material designed to seal minor leaks in the plumbing. One 8 oz. bottle is effective for hot tubs and spas ranging from 250-1000 gallons (950-3785 liters).
When fixing a hot tub or spa the water temperature should be no less than 70°F or 21°C.
Hot tub and spa leaks can be detected by notable water loss not caused by evaporation, a wet spot on the ground, or possibly a slow drip coming out of the foam insulation. If the foam insulation surrounding the tub or spa is saturated with water the hot tub or spa has been leaking for a prolonged period of time.
The 32 oz. pool size bottle can be used for hot tub and spa repair if the 8 oz. bottle cannot be acquired. By using 1/3 of the 32 oz. bottle or less follow the same directions for a hot tub or spa leak. If water loss exceeds 1 inch in a 24-hour period it may be beneficial to purchase the 32 oz bottle for multiple applications if needed.
Most repairs in hot tubs and spas will last between 1-2 years.
Hot Tub and Spa Leaks
Determine water loss in a 24-hour period. Fill spa to the original water level.
Immerse bottle in hot water for 15 minutes. Shake well before use.
Remove all the cartridge filters.
Pour the entirety of the 8 oz bottle into the filter intake or directly into the spa.
Day One: Run the spa for 4-6 hours alternating between the low and high speed jets. This step requires supervision. If the spa has only one speed, run the jets in 15 minute on/off increments for a total of 4-6 hours.
Day Two: Brush the bottom of the spa before following the same steps as Day One.
48 hours with the spa off is required to confirm no further water loss or dripping.
Drain the spa after 4 days as long as night temperatures remain above 40°F or 4°C. If possible drain the spa for 5-7 days and wipe down the sides with a warm soft cloth to remove any residue that may be present on the spa surface. If not done properly a white residue will remain. The draining process allows air to get to the inside of the plumbing helping the product to cure and creating a longer lasting seal.
If temperatures dip below 40°F or 4°C the small amount of product can be filtered through the reinstalled filters.
Immerse the filters in a large container of hot water for 10-15 minutes. Clean between the pleats with a hose or tap.
Reinstall the filters and run the spa for an additional 4-6 hours and clean the filters again.
Once this process is completed refill the spa, add the required chemicals and resume normal operation.
