Title: I found little yellow balls floating in my hot tub.
Post by: jmauceri on March 22, 2016, 12:42:15 pm

Ok, I thought this was odd.  Found about 4 little yellow plastic balls floating in my tub.  They're about 1/4" diameter.  Any idea where they come from?  I have a 2008 Marquis Epic,

Thanks,

Joe

Never heard of it.  Sometimes rotating jets have bearings in them, but I don't know if an 08 Epic would have had the rotating jets?  Also I don't think the bearings would be yellow.

 If they were bigger Id say you live next to a driving range.   The only other thing that would possibly be is in each jet that has a air-line attached, there is a little ball that keeps water from backing up the air line to the manifold.    Not the main water line but the air-line that attaches to the jet back.   Other than that I don't know, kids toy maybe?

 Grasping at straws here..

Same here...no idea...remnants of something left in the tub? Check the filter to see if there's more?

I found a lip gloss container in mine a couple of years ago when we came home on a Monday after being away all weekend. Another time I found a hamburger bun. i can't figure out what part of the spa they came out of.

ACK  :o :o

Ok a lip gloss container I can see getting dropped into the tub in the winter when it's dry, but a hamburger bun? Who eats in a tub or pool? Everyone knows you're not allowed to go in the water for 30mins after eating.
 :D :D
