How To Carry Out Minor Or Major Hot Tub Repairs

Minor and major leaks can occur in hot tubs all year round. Whilst the best thing to do is call a company like UK Hot Tubs for major hot tub repairs there are a number of remedial actions you can take in order to cover the gap between noticing the leak and a repair team making it to you to fix the damage.

What to do if you have a minor leak:

A minor leak constitutes something that sees your hot tub losing somewhere in the region of 1-3inches over the period of a week. They can occur for a number of reasons from a seal going on one of the parts to a full on component failure.

Whatever you do DO NOT OPEN THE ACCESS PANEL TO ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

What you should do:

1. Call a hot tub repairs service.
2. Isolate the power to your hot tub.
3. Have a look around the hot tub, can you identify the leak? If you can, place a container under the leak to collect the remnant water.
4. Await the arrival of the repair team.

What to do if you have a major leak:

A major leak could be described as losing a significant about of water in a short amount of time.

What you should do:

1. Call a hot tub repairs service.
2. Drain all the water out of your hot tub either using the built in drain or a submersible pump.
3. Turn off the main RCD feed to the hot tub. This will isolate the power to your hot tub. However it is important to note that under no circumstances should you remove any housing of your electrical trip switches.
4. Await the arrival of the repair team.

These tips are brief and easy to remember so be sure to bare them in mind if your hot tub begins to show signs of a leak.

If your hot tub is currently leaking or if it leaks in the future, remember to contact a hot tub repair service immediately. Details can be found below.
