Hot tub & spa or whirlpool bath troubleshooting & repair guide.
This article series describes the use, operation, maintenance as well as common problems, troubleshooting, & repair suggestions for hot tubs, spas, and whirlpool baths.
We discuss hot tub leaks, broken hot tub or spa jets, hot tub or spa water temperature & heater repair, hot tub or spa pump diagnosis & repair, hot tub or spa filter maintenance, cleaning & repair, noisy air pumps at hot tubs, noisy water pumps at the hot tub or spa, and other hot tub, spa or whirlpool bath diagnosis & repair topics.
We also provide a MASTER INDEX to this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need.
Spa / Hot Tub Troubleshooting & Leak Repairs
This article describes the diagnosis & repair of common hot tub or spa problems at the blower unit, the spa or hot tub filter, including filter leaks, spa or hot tub heater repairs, hot tub or spa jet repairs, hot tub and spa motor or wet end troubleshooting & repair or replacement, and fixing other leaks at a hot tub or spa.
Leaks at the Jetted Tub Filter Cap
Our photo shows a common leak point at jetted tubs and one that's usually easy to fix: a worn or cracked gasket at the cover of the tub's filter canister, or a canister top that has not been adequately-tightened.
[Click to enlarge any image]
My index finger points to a place to feel for water leaking around the filter cap gasket. If you see water below or around the tub filter check here first.
First try hand tightening the top fastening knob (red arrow).
Sometimes the knob was not adequately tightened or vibration may have caused it to loosen.
Next check the bleeder screw on the cap to be sure that's closed. (Green arrow).
If the leak persists, turn off power, drain water pressure from the tub, and remove the cap to inspect the cap gasket.
Spa Blower Assembly: the air pump
Above: the air inlet and blower controls of an older jetted tub installed in Two Harbors MN.

Air is delivered to hot tubs or whirlpool baths in one or sometimes two methods:
- Air inlet to jets: Air enters the water jets by manually opening an air inlet valve, usually a plastic turn-screw on the tub edge.
The yellow arrow marks the tub rim air inlet valve to admit air into the water jet system.
No separate motor is needed for this feature; by opening an air inlet on the water suction piping, air is drawn into the water jet piping system for the jets powered by the circulating pump.
Aqua Glass Whirlpool Tub Manual Machine
- Air blower motor: Air is forced through separate piping and up through small openings in the tub bottom, seats, or sides by a separate blower or air pump - discussed here.
This feature, found on hot tubs and some other spas may be absent from a simpler whirlpool bath or jetted tub. You can see the pneumatic tub-rim blower on / off button at the white arrow on the right side our photo above.
Below at left in the photo taken from underneath the tub rim we see the plastic tube that connects the pneumatic switch on the tub side to the electrical control that in turn will switch on the blower motor.
The right-hand switch and plastic tube controls the speed of the water circulating pump.
The right-hand switch and plastic tube controls the speed of the water circulating pump.
Above we see these two plastic tubes at their connection to the electrical controls below the tub.
The tube from the tub rim blower switch connects to the blower switch relay on the electrical control box below the tub while the pump switch, as we noted, will control the water circulating pump speed.
Check the hot tub controls' pneumatic tubing: If your whirlpool or spa has a blower unit an it's not turning on, check below the tub, following the plastic tubing, to be sure that it is connected at both ends and that it has not been crimped, cut, or perforated.
Replace a bad blower control switch:
Next (below) we show the two pneumatically-operated electrical switches inside the control box shown just above.
In effect, the user is pushing a button that compresses air in the switch and tubing system that in turn operates an electrical switch inside the control box.
This safety feature avoids having people floating about in a hot tub having to touch an electrical switch directly - touching an electrical control directly while wet or in a tub is likely to kill you.
The blower switch and pump switch mounted in this spa /hot tub control are pneumatic devices that can fail and may need replacement. Below is a close-up of one of these that has been removed from the controller.
This pneumatic switch, model TBS212 is produced by Tridelaga Industries, Mentor OH 44060.
Check the air blower motor assembly: Below we see the actual blower unit for this hot tub/spa.
You can ignore that spare filter atop the blower. It was so dirty that we threw it away.
This blower was so noisy we left it off. Further investigation and repair are in order.
The blower unit shown is a Santanna Conger Brothers unit.
- Santanna Conger Brothers, 13892 Enterprise Drive, Garden Grove CA 92643, USA.
Watch out: notice that open electrical box with two yellow twist-on wire connectors?
Touching these, especially while you're wet and standing on a wet floor, is asking for death by electrocution. We need to install a cover on this electrical box.

Reader Question: how to fix a clogged spa or whirlpool bath jet

Spa bath has no flow from one of 10 jets?

When only one jet is misbehaving and the other 9 are working, we can eliminate a worry about the pump, timer, or controls.
![Aqua Glass Whirlpool Tub Manual Aqua Glass Whirlpool Tub Manual](https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.doityourself.com/660x300_100-1/278/beautiful-interior-spa-with-colofrul-lights-595278.jpg)
First and most important: check for a disconnected and leaky tube feeding the non-performing jet. Remove the tub access panel and with power to the tub OFF to avoid shock risk, look with care for signs of water or flooding under and around the unit.
While looking under the tub from its access side, I'd inspect for a clogged or crimped tube to that jet.
Next, as on some spas the jet assembly can be removed from the tub side, see if you can disassemble and clean it, looking for a blockage.
Armed with the brand and tub model, if you don't have the owners' manual, download one from the manufacturer. Most spa manuals include a troubleshooting guide at the end of the document. There may be specific clogged jet advice from your manufacturer.
Also check:
1. The filter unit: see if air needs to be bled from the filter. Typically there is an air bleeder screw or valve that can be opened at the top of the filter unit.
2. If there are more than one intake port in the tub be sure the water intake is not clogged with hair and debris.

On 2020-06-07 - by (mod) - Is it ok to run the spa or hot tub motor without water?
Kris
Thank you for asking a helpful question: is it OK to let the spa or hot tub or whirlpool bath pump run dry?
Answer: No. You should avoid any prolonged running of the spa or hot tub motor for more than a couple of minutes or you risk permanent damage to the pump bearings or impeller assembly or motor.
I don't know your specific spa motor brand and model but at least some pumps will be damaged if run dry for any length of time.
However a spa pump is usually designed so as not to be damaged by temporary dry running such as might occur for example during pump priming or if the pump is air-bound or air-locked, a common problem with spa systems.
Here is an example warning about avoiding damage to the spa pump by dry-running, excerpted from the

Watch out: IMPORTANT: A pump should not be allowed to run continuously without priming for more than 2 minutes.
Watch out: IMPORTANT: A pump should not be allowed to run continuously without priming for more than 2 minutes.
Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming mode
Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.

If the circuit breaker for a dedicated whirlpool tub trips before you even turn on the unit, I suspect a wiring error and a short circuit.
Watch out: leave the circuit off to avoid a fire or shock hazard, and ask your electrician to sort out the snafu.

I purchased a Ariel whirlpool tub last year and hired an electrician to provide 240 volt service to my bathroom. After plugging the unit in I noticed the breaker automatically trips off even before the tub can be powered on. Do you have an idea of what may be causing this issue ?

You can remove the motor from the pump assembly and test it on an electrical test bench to confirm that the motor works normally; that won't thest the pump component - for which water is needed.

A good place to start would be to open the access panel beneath your tub and inspect in there with a good flashlight to see if there is a leak that you can fix by replacing a gasket or jet part.

On 2020-01-21 - by (mod) - bad water level sensor in the whirlpool tub.
Hi Dave,
Indeed this sounds like a bad water level sensor in the tub.
Remove the access panels to look inside. If you can see the sensor from that interior view, check to see if a simple plastic air tube connects the sensor to a control board or panel or switch. If so check that the tube is not kinked, damaged, or clogged - or just replace it.
If that doesn't fix the problem then either the sensor at the tub or the control to which the sensor tubing connects needs replacement.

I have an older AquaGlass jacuzzi bath tub. There is a low water level message displayed on the touch pad and my tub won't turn on.
I soaked the tub with 4 gallons of vinegar in the tub filled with water but the tub still won't turn on.

Dawn that sounds like biological contamination, perhaps an algae or fungal growth. Your spa piping and jets need to be cleaned and sanitized.

We have an MTI brand whirlpool bathtub that leaks out the air inlet valve which is normally suppose to be loose. When it is tightened, water leaks under the tub housing at the top of the air inlet fitting.
When I fill the tub and run the jets, water also wants to spill out of the air inlet and the pump also is making loud and erratic sounds. Can anyone help me diagnose this?

- For general purpose cleaning, any non-abrasive liquid cleaner off the shelf may be used. Be sure to read the label and follow the cleanser’s recommendations. Do not use harsh abrasives as they will harm and dull the finish of your unit. Instead, use warm water and liquid detergents, especially those bathroom cleaners recommended for cleaning fiberglass, such as Top Job All-Purpose, Mr. Clean All-Purpose, Boraxo Bathroom, Lysol Bathroom, chlorine bleach, Easy-Off Mildew Stain Remover, X-14 Mildew Stain Remover or Liquid Spic & Span and the like.
- For only the most stubborn stains on your anti-skid floor, a paste should be made of a cleanser such as Comet, Spic-N-Span, etc., and spread out onto the floor. Allow the paste to sit for 5-10 minutes and then gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush. To prevent scratches, the brush should be no rougher than the texture of a toothbrush.
- For hard water stains, calcium deposits, lime scale or difficult soap after repeated attempts with the above suggestions, you may try Lime-Away or white vinegar for removal of calcium or lime deposits. For soap scum, general black grime or algae, household bleach may be used with moderate scrubbing. In both instances the unit should be rinsed carefully with cold water. Scrubbing is never recommended as it could damage the finish on your floor. Always rinse off all remaining paste.
- If you use a rubber or plastic anti-skid mat, make sure to remove it after every shower to avoid harming the surface finish.
