HotSpring Vanguard leaking

<< < (2/2)

njwiley:
Could somebody describe where the problem valve that the Hartford Loop replaces is located? And what year did Hot Springs correct the issue? I'm trying to figure out if this could be the issue with my 2011 Vanguard.

Chas:
Good news/ bad news. They only used the shuttle valve for a couple of years: basically 2001 and 2002. Actually only part of 2002. So your 2011 Vanguard tub will not have one. It should have the Hartford loop already installed, but it will be a simple loop of 3/4" tubing and the 3/4" check valve pictured in the Hartford kit, above. Find that air check valve and see if the clamps show signs of rust. If so, the valve may have a crack in it. They are cheap, and not tough to install, but on some models they are awkward to reach. Sometimes they crack as you are trying to pull them out, so be patient.

Hey guys, so I am having trouble locating this valve. It is almost doing the exact same thing as stated.

I did notice however, that when the pump is shut off, the leak stops. But once power comes back on, it begins shortly. Any help?
