thanks, Tman. Unfortunately, I found a broken hose that broke and leads back to a manifold just off the filter housing. The hose broke at the manifold itself. It seems that unfortunately there isn't a lot of pipe to play with and thus a large section would need rebuilt. It's got me thinking that maybe there is other freeze damage so now I'm wondering if it is worth diving in to or not. Might have just purchased a $50 pump and heater that could be repurposed or sold.

I'm not a spa guy, but seems like trying to rebuild or refurbish these foam insulated tubs is likely a chore I don't want to get into.

this is common, people list 'cheap hot tub $50' in reality you are paying to take away their garbage so they don't have to pay someone $250-$400 to pick it up and dispose of it...that said if you can visually 'see' where the leak is coming from without having to remove all the side panels and ton of foam it might be worth it to fix assuming the heater, pumps(s) and everything else works. Good Luck!

Looks like I got lucky. Pump, heater works. 3-4 small leaks around old pipe repairs/joints, and a couple jets. Likely just a little pvc/hose rebuilding and maybe some gaskets.
