I think if we knew what brand/model of spa you have it might be helpful- shells may be made of different types of materials, and some may be easier to fix than others.

Oh an infinity  :( I am afraid I have bad news :'( The only way to fix it is to trade it in towards purchase of a D1 from SpaMan.

Ok now to reality, You may be able to purchase a repair kit from Dr.Spa as that is what I would do if I were a consumer and had that problem. ;D

Water exerts much pressure on your shell.  It may just continue to crack, slowly.   It is hard to fix a crack....is there a warranty?  Find a marine supply company and see what they might suggest.  Is the ground under the spa level?  Something caused a crack, determine what caused it and fix that problem first.  Good Luck and be careful out there in the hot tub!!!!!

 If its not under warranty you can drill a very very small pilot hole at each end of the crack then epoxy with a good type epoxy.   Should work and should not spread??

Jim...
Should the pilot holes look like periods?
or commas?
or any other kind of punctuation?    ;)

A bit off topic...

Not sure, but I'm guessing that "grouse" is of the younger, AIM/blog/text generation?

That would explain why there appears to be no need whatsoever for any form of punctuation..... ;)

For your information I was born in 1946 in London UK so I doubt that I am from the younger generation. I had to leave school at 15 to earn a living unlike the more fortunate that had well off parents to pay for college education. If the lack of punctuation upsets you then "tough" :P

Some believe punctuation is also a courtesy to the reader from whom you are seeking information.  
It makes it easier to read your inquiry, understand your issue, possibly respond with helpful information, and avoid getting a headache.  

Good luck with your crack.
