Saluspa/ Coleman Inflatable Spa - Fix air leak/ water in walls
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 фев 2023
- My saluspa inflatable spa was deflated a little. I went to fill it with air and realized the walls were full of water. I searched online and someone posted on a forum somewhere how to fix it. I thought a video would help some people like me.
Pretty simple fix. Only supply you'll need is some kind of epoxy, I used JB Weld original. Costs about $7 usd.
Just for your information what is happening here is there is a small tube about 12 - 15 inches inside the air chamber, connecting those two ports. And in most cases, either one or both of those ends of this hose has disconnected inside. I learned this when draining the water from the walls in my hot tub, this hose flushed out. There’s really no way to reliably reattach this hose inside, so plugging them seems to be the best workaround…. Thanks for the video
Dude I have no idea why they even have a hole there on either thing. Walls were full with water and went to inflate and it was leaking. Thank you so much brother. Perfect timing
Wow had been having trouble with ours. Drained it today and tried to move it. Walls completely full of water! This is the only tip I've found on why this happened and what to do. Thank you!
The vents are for releasing over pressure when filling or on hot days. The valves are behind the walls. If you dont replace the screw, it will still leak into the walls. I used a rubber toilet tank gasket on each one with a large washer and kept the screws in them. There is no way to replace the valves so blocking them off is what I did. Let some air out if the tub gets over inflated in the sun. These valves have nothing to do with the air jets.
I noticed spa deflating two days ago, but didn’t have time to look at it so today I go out there and notice it’s dripping from the large air output, so I plugged up the insides, but noticed there was still water coming out of the smaller bottom intake! So I re-blew up the spa and then heard all this gurgling sound coming from the inside top valve which you are talking about. I screwed it off and saw all this water coming out of it!! so I figured after watching your video I must have water inside the walls. I’m about to throw this thing out after loving it for over a year so I drained it right now and I’m gonna try to get the water out of the walls don’t even know if that’s possible and don’t know why it’s happening now after I’ve had no issues with it. Except before summer, I took it down to clean it and then had my patio pavers sealed, and it was out in the sun upside down and wondering if that stretched out the liner but it’s been fine for about two months till two days ago😩
I just had to do the exact same thing to my hot tub. Unfortunately the instructions don't say anything about horse play in the hot tub I think that's what damaged ours🫣 we've had ours up 24/7 for almost 3 years now. If I can make it through one more Montana winner I feel that I would have gotten my money's worth. Unfortunately I watched your video a day late but we both came to the same conclusion. Thank you for posting the video to help others.
There is a one way valve on the bottom hose and it can break. Dont plug that off.
My Saluspa - Palm Springs model has exactly this same problem. The air leak is evident in the two locations shown in this video and appeared when setting up the hot tub after being stored for the winter season. I used duct tape temporarily to cover the two ports to confirm the liner will hold air if these ports are sealed. I suspect the process of putting the hot tub into storage damaged what I believe is an internal pipe connecting these ports. Now, I will try permanently sealing these ports with JB or some other compound. Thanks for posting this most helpful video!
That works but now the airport has a water leak. Ugh
just saw this went to reinflate my spa and it did not stay blown up and I could here air coming out full force from both those things you just showed on here! Question is why all of a sudden did it start doing this??? Is there a reason cause it was fine before I took down for a month while on vacation not wont hold air....
Awesome Video, short, sweet and straight to the fix !
Thanks for making this video. I didn't know what I was going to do with this spa now that it was leaking.
Same as everyone else here walls full of water. Thanks for the advice!!!
Thank you for the instruction! I will fix this today. I had trouble getting the water out of the walls until reading comment replies and understanding that the air valve can be completely removed by unscrewing the second ring.
Thank you for this. This is our exact problem that just happened today.
Thank you! After much frustration… your method worked!
This is soooooo helpful! Thank you so much.
We will get a few more months out of our spa thanks to your video. I took that cover off and stuffed the hole good and full of muffler weld. All's well now.
This is a life saver I was just fixing to drag the ol thing to the road but was holding out hope and here it is. Thank you for this video! To those asking about the water in the walls I had to open all the drains, the one on the botttom, and flip the jacuzzi a couple times and step the water out of it. Finally got basically all of the water out.
did the same thing today! Thanks!, Don't be sick of it!
