sundance suntub
burhead:
here is the pic of the spa pack:
As for the leak. Anyone have much experience/ success fixing them? I did some reading on here today and think I have a pretty good plan of attack. I going to put it up on cinder blocks and fill it up and add some dye I got from the local spa place. Hopefully this will show me where it is at. I have a pretty good idea as there is a frozen spot on one portion of foam. Also the foam in this area is a much lighter density that the rest of the tub, so I am thinking that this spot has been repaired before. When I go to replace the foam, do I just use regular old expanding foam?

Leak in the foam? hmmm you must have won the lottery!
Just kidding of course, hopefully its just a pump or heater union!

I cant get that lucky. I know it isn't at any of the visible fittings. I watched it while running and saw no leakage.

The problem with the Suntub is that it has rigid foam on the bottom, making it very difficult to dig out. IF you are going to attempt to repair it, I wouldn't bother testing to see where it is coming from. More than likely it is at a glue joint. There are not very many jets in that tub, so your best bet is to just dig out all the jets, dig out the manifold, and replace all the joints with barb fittings and a new manifold. This way, you shouldn't have to worry about this happening again. It will save a lot of headaches in the long run.

As for repiping the whole thing, Are the parts standard plumbing fittings that can be found at the hardware store or do I have to special order them? Im an electrician by trade and I despise plumbing. Is this something I should leave to a Hottub repairman. I was hoping for an easy fix but I do see the logic in your reply.
