Re: Plumbing Diagram
I fixed a leak in the right side as your facing the spa. It was half way between the moto massage and the main panel. I am still getting water coming out from under the back, right in the middle. I tore the siding and dug some foam and its not the moto. I also dug in the center where the water is and its dry so im thinking its running from either the foot jet or the drain. The deck has a small amount of fall towards the end where I see the water. I cant get under the deck to pin point where it starts. It may be from one of the jets on the other side. I guess id have to tear off the siding to find that out. If you could send a diagram that would be great. My email is acmectec2001@hotmail.com. I have to figure out what to replace the foam and siding with now also. If I could email you my cell # and talk to you for a few minutes it would be very helpfull!!!!
Thanks |

Re: Plumbing Diagram
Hey guys, I also have a HS Soverign late '90 model with a leak. Unfortunately I have the spa inside a surrounding retaining wall and will have to fullytake it out to find the leak. I have removed a little of the siding/foam from the right front (pump access/main panel) side and think the leak is from the multi output jet(s) on that side. The water level also stops draining at the level of the lower two small output jets.
Can I also get a soft copy of the pluming diagram and perhaps guidance as to how to replace the foam once and if I get that far. My email is: rducman2001@aol.com
Thanks for the help,

Soverign moto massage leak
My 2000 (or so) Sovereign is leaking behind the moto-massage. I removed a few of the panels from directly behind the moto, dug out some foam and rotted wood and found a red flexible hose attached to a nipple. I took off the hose and found that the nipple was cracked at the base. I repaired that with clear silicon Liquid Nails (hopefully that holds) but while digging out the foam, I broke a very brittle white plastic tube that runs vertically (see attached photo). It seems to run straight down to the bottom of the tub. What is this hose for and how would I fix it? Can anyone help? Please see photo... |

Re: Plumbing Diagram
Hard to tell from the photo, but I don't think that is a water line at all...when they foam the tubs they do it with a long wand, and when they pull it out it leaves a tunnel. It just breaks apart in your hand and looks like foam, right? |

Re: Plumbing Diagram
It does look like foam but it feels harder than the foam and very brittle. I bought a can of spray foam from home depot to fill the gap again. Is that the right stuff to use. Also, anything else typically leak back there before I seal it up again? thanks. |

Re: Plumbing Diagram
I would fill it up and run it for a while first to see if the Liquid Nail stuff will hold. I have my doubts that it will permanently be watertight. |

Re: Plumbing Diagram
I have a 1999 Hot Springs Sovereign with a leak under the moto-massage seat. Is there any way to remove the side panels so you can replace them or is digging out the bottom the only way?? I would like to get a plumbing diagram before I start digging. Thanks in advance. |

He Acmetec2001,
It appears that I alos have a leak and by your description it is in the same area. Was it the drain area? Where did you dig to find the problem? I have checked around the Moto and it is all dry there. The water is following the center wooden 2x4 on the underside. I have the tub on it's side and am diging on both side of the wood to see where the foam will start to get wet, but have not found it yet.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
