Jacuzzi J-365 Plumbing Pics?

(1/5) > >>

renns:
I'm working on a fitting leak on my J-365 tub.  It looks like the leak is down below the waterfall.  It's a foamed tub, so I'm digging foam out, but a picture of the hoses and fittings in that area prior to foaming would be really helpful.  Any ideas where I might find such a pic?

Thanks!

Jacuzzi Jim:
 Theses pics are what's there give or take the actual waterfall itself.    The barbed fitting and that white fitting are whats attached to the 3/4" line.  Better chance the waterfall is leaking vs the fittings.  But I have seen both.

Thanks for the reply, Jim!  I tracked the leak to a split white plastic 2" fitting connected to the big 2" flex PVC line way down under the waterfall section of the tub.  Looks like frost damage, as the tub sat empty last winter, but wasn't professionally winterized.  Previous owner said he blew out all the lines with compressed air, but...she be leakin'  :-[

I just fixed a leak in my tub and used an epoxy repair putty from Home depot, it was inexpensive, bonded with the pvc and after it hardened ( I gave it an hour) didn't leak. My tub is 10 YO and the part looked like a bear to replace ... Someone here mentioned using something like that and it did work great.

If you do use it just make sure you mix it really well, put it on where it covers the hole plus overlaps the area by about an inch or so and give it time to harden before setting it up. It does say it can work underwater but since you are talking possibly some pressure pushing out, I would give it ample time to bond and dry.

Hi Vinny, thanks for the ideas.  It's miserable out right now, but I did manage to clear out the leak area a bit, and took a picture of the part.  It looks like a PVC assembly that perhaps the ice pushed apart?  Water runs out of the vertical crack.  The picture in question is taken at the bottom of the tub on the waterfall side (opposite to the equipment side).
