Hello,

I live in Canada and bought a fancy/piece of junk used hot tub. The previous owner had left it empty since February and I knew of one broken check valve when i bought it (which is why i thought i was getting such a good deal). I fixed that immediately, filled the tub and it leaked everywhere. After excavating a bunch of foam found a second leak. Fixed it, filled it, starts leaking again. Again, excavate foam and find leak, currently waiting for 2nd replacement check valve from the company (artesian). As a result of all of this all of the foam along the bottom of the tub is soaked.

Do i need to excavate and replace all of this foam. Living in Canada i am worried what will happen when it is -30. Any advice would be appreciated. The foam i haven't excavated is a pain in the ass to get at.

Thanks in advance.
