Q: I have a brand new hot tub and it is leaking. I need a service man right away.
A: Firstly, there are a few things we will ask you to do. Describe that area of the spa where the
leak seems to be coming from. Remove one of the skirt panels in that area and check your
pump(s) union connections. If you have a loose union, simply tighten the connection and
the leak should stop. This is a part of your spa start up and is the responsibility of all of our
customers to make sure that this is done.

inches), assuming the following:
• Modulus > 0.9 MM psi (represents the majority of wood species
• Static Load < 10psf (standard for decking design)
• Moisture Load < 19.0% (standard for pressure treated wood)
• Deection = L/360 (standard for building codes)
