Since I repaired the flooded Envoy (https://www.whatsthebest-hottub.com/forum/index.php/topic,22837.msg211490.html#msg211490) it's been working great! But I have one of those mystery leaks. It's not coming from the equipment compartment, just somewhere in the foam cosmos. I was thinking of trying Seal-a-Leak (https://www.spadepot.com/Seal-a-Leak-Spa-Leak-Sealer-16oz-P790?zmam=55673001&zmas=1&zmac=1&zmap=MT1018&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZPcBRBkEiwA-avvk2dG9xtkFnjSbln-Eiqo1m2YtHxdljZnX0kbed92KzBW46--DvsDDRoCw0kQAvD_BwE) to fix the slow leak. I'm loosing roughly 1-2" per week. But I'm a bit concerned that the sealer could cause other problems. Lots of great reviews and it sounds like it might work? Just wanted to see if anyone here has used any of these products? Thanks again!

Interesting, I have no real opinion, but have to wonder how a stop leak product would behave going through a filter.
-
Personally... I think these things are a nuclear option. They gum up everything. It stops minor leaks... but not without a cost. A lot of pumps could be sacrificed if you are planning on having this thing long term.

Have you looked at the light? No obvious water? Pump seals?

Agreed.
If it was a 15 year old spa and the leak isn't somewhat obvious you're taking a shot at a simple fix to limp it along a little further then ok, not much to loose.
For a 2015 I think it needs to be found and properly fixed. Is this not under warranty, maybe second owner?
-
No warranty as I'm the second owner. I rebuilt both motors with new bearing as both were rusty and rough sounding. The equipment compartment is nice and dry. On the 2015 Envoy the left side is pretty much all foam. Looking at the water/algae on the ground it looks like the leak is on the the left side of the tub.
wmccall- according to the instruction you pull out all filters.
