![]() Hope you are well my American friend.still waiting for BBQ pics. Spas current value $2K. This is why I say "Slather Me Up" and try the quick (hack) repair first. I will make a total of 8 trips for all this if all goes well. Estimated repair cost $2500 CDN. Filled it up AGAIN and now we wait the weekend to see if it leaks because once it goes back into the deck (call the movers again) I'm never going back.lol. Backed it off and pushed it forward enough to remove the old deteriorated seal and Slathered the silicone to it inside and out and tightened it all back up. Removed all the soaking foam so I could reach up in there to get to the back nut of the jet body. I ordered the part and made the repair and now could fill the spa all the way up to check for other potential issues and sure enough there was a jet with a failed jet seal at the top jet. This spa's leak was in the bulkhead ozone jet. Full Foam Spa as well and everything was soaked so the leak could have been anywhere. Then have them lay it down on 6圆's so I can put water back in to find where it is leaking from. Then I have to get my movers in to in this case remove it from a deck that was built right up tight the the edge of the spa and stand it up on the deck so I could take the bottom off. To make the repairs from the inside you have to disconnect all the plumbing, electrical, and spa pack from the spa as they are external. I am currently (still.3 weeks) doing this exact repair. but Beachcomber leak repairs are a nightmare like no other and seal leaks are common on these spas. Would I do this with any other tub.well sure.lol. I put the jet back in in the on position and wait 24H. ![]() I spit on my finger for lubrication to keep the silicone from sticking to me finger and circle around the bead of silicone smoothing it out a bit and making sure the gap is completely covered and the silicone has made good contact with all surfaces. Snip the silicone tube on a bit of a 45 degree and run a bead of silicone around the jet body filling the gap. There will be a gap between the jet body and the acrylic where the seal sits. There is a seal that sits between the jet body and the acrylic. I remove the jet and try to dry out the area around the Jet Body where it meets the acrylic. F'N EH! as we say here in God's Greatest Creation CANADA. ![]()
