By Coleen Torres


Indulging yourself in a hot tub is a one way to relax and to eliminate negative vibes from your body. Through this way, you can also free yourself from stress and depressions from an overwork. However, if you have a broken tub, you need to ruin your moment and leave yourself on fixing the leaks. However, it is quite hard if the leaks are small and cannot be fixed immediately. Here are helpful steps for a hot tub repair Portland.

There are some materials not necessary when doing the repairs. But, most of the listed materials are important for the replacement or repairs of the tub components. If you can notice that leaks cannot be fixed by your own hands, then you should call a technician immediately.

All hot tubs contain important components, like the pump. The pump is normally the area where certain leaks occur. When you check the pump, switch the power off and check if there is a leaking. If there is a leaking in the water, you must observe if the pump seal or pump needs a replacement.

The next step is to check the union fittings. This is normally found around the heater and pump, since it can loosen quickly. Even you have a new tub, there is still a risk of leaks, since it keeps on vibrating that can loosen it up. If these union fittings are detached, you should tighten it with your hands. Do not tighten a single spa union with a sudden twist.

The heater manifold should be checked next. Most heaters, pressure switches and some components. You can also replace the parts that are not in good condition and needs to be fixed. This is necessary once cracks occur.

The valves are the next thing to inspect. Knife style valves are composed of two halves that are bolted together and a gasket between. If this failed, leakage will occur. Most hot tubs are installed with valves and placed on the side of the pumps. This is intended for the water not to shut off or drained in performing repair process. However, this process is the main cause for cracks and usually removed if leaking occurs.

All pipes, jets and other connections should be inspected. There are connections that should be sealed properly. Once the leaking jets are broken, then any malfunctions of the gaskets must be replaced. There are other kind of tubes that are having holes or even cracks. In this situation, you may use a plast aid to fix the leakage. Normally, molecular components are installed to make each pipe hard and strong.

Shells are mostly made from strong and layered fiber glasses. If one shell is broken, problems will follow with the jets and other components. If you have noticed some leakages, you may apply an amount of plast aid in order to fix all the cracks.

There are other methods used in checking other parts. Just for an example, a crack may be important to be repaired or fixed, but you cannot repair them if you cannot locate the leaks. You may use a coloring dye to the water and there would be some cracks occurring. Drain your tub and mark the level of water. Once the leaking stops, it just means that the level of the water is in the standard level.
