Ours has just decided to deflate in the same spot after 2 years. Couldn’t for the life of us figure out what to do! Thank God I found this video! We will try this and hopefully will solve the issue. So appreciate you for posting this!
Hello, had a similar issue happened with mine just recently....what you showed in in the video at the end is exactly what happened...got PVC CEMENT and waiting on it to cure but when i blew air into it you could hear it where it was coming out from same thing like yours...but wow these products are flawed...
The little upper and lower overfill valve on the top and bottom mine was leaking as well. They started just leaking a little then eventually failed until the air chamber filled with water. I am considering just sealing off both valves as well.
My hot tube is having the same exact leak problem from the gasket and water is leaking from the inside of the tub into the liner through that filter housing due to a failed gasket, just like you identified here (so thank you!) . Your video ends with you planning to cut a circular patch and seal using rubbing alcohol and then PVC cement. Do you have a follow up video where you did this? Curious to know if it worked.
Can you come and fix mine? I had an air leak and then took it apart to blow it back up and got water leaking and had to drain it, still didnt find an air leak.
Thanks for the tip. Not much info on this or why those air vents are really necessary. I used permatex ultra black gasket maker that I had left over from when the heater element of this device started leaking. Put it in and let it cure for 24 hours. Filled with air and it's holding. The heating element fix was more challenging as you had to take apart the whole pump system.These spas are cheap but need some work to keep them going. I've only had for 2 years and have had to do some big time repairs. Still going though.
thanks for this video, i've been having the same problem and couldn't think of where to start. thank you so much for this, i can now get to work fixing mine
I have the same spa same brand same problem however mine is blue inside, I never see it anywhere on eBay or Amazon, just white inside. I got a hand air pump 10 bucks , tired of unhooking the water to air it up a little, for me problem solved.
@@workwithkevin Thanks, I love my spa but hope they fix all the kinks one day, mine also takes a long time to heat up, the cord could of been longer too, but hey I got it all for free when my neighbors got frustrated. I even bought a new solar pool light recently.
Turns out it was just a washer in between the screw fitting from pump to tub didn't need to open the pump at all People should probably check that before they start taking screws out
We will see. I had the same problem. It was deflating. I figured it was the last year for the spa. I asked my son to fill it up with air in the middle of the week. He forgot. The way to the water, pulls it away from the Pump and it has cracked the water outflow where the hose is attached inside the tub so I think I can fix it but I’m gonna see what you found.
@@workwithkevin I just yesterday did the same thing to my hotub.I also sealed the one above the "skimmer' with J-B weld because of a air leak. Everything is designed to fail.....lol
I’m draining mine as we speak. There is a little water around one side near the pump on the outside of the hot tub. Yet the pump seems dry and my hot tub is still fully blown up. When it’s empty I’m going to check if I have a small hole. The water is low but I haven’t used it in a while. Any thoughts?
I had the air seal leak behind the filter as well. Some guy said he fixed it with JB weld I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I ordered a new tub when I got the new tub inflated. I got the leak in the water side of the heater. So its taken apart. I'm wondering if I could spray flexseal on the corners of the heater. Otherwise it's take each end off of the heater, clean it, clean the gaskets, put it back together, and hope it works. It seems like a real pain in the ass. We've only had it up and running for 3 months last fall. And all this happened when we went to it inflate again for this winter. I don't know if it's worth buying a new motor if it's just gonna happen again. I've already spent two hundred and thirty on a replacement inflatable tub. Good luck. As much as we loved having it up last fall, I don't know if it's fixable.
Hello. I am not sure about any flexibility seal products I don't know much about them. I think the manufacturer should stand behind the product better so we don't get left like this.
@@workwithkevin I used a marine epoxy and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you for the info, I would have tossed out the entire spa if I hadnt run across your video.

I hope it works for you. Thank you for watching.
I don't think your screwdriver is long enough, lol.
Don't use Flex Seal. I fixed a hole in the wall of my hot tub with it and it couldn't handle the warm water and failed big time.

sorry about video ending so far it has held up
our tub is brand new out of the box all connected and upon filling with water it started leaking underneath ..and we can't find where lol
Under the tub itself might be the drain port isn't closed all the way.
Crap. It may be a simple connection. Sometimes the washers fall off the connection when tightening

thanks for this video, i've been having the same problem and couldn't think of where to start. thank you so much for this, i can now get to work fixing mine
I hope it helps a little
Your pump is recalled fyi. Contact bestway
Great news
Where did you get that flashlight! I am blinded watching it siting on my couch. Lol
Klein electrical flashlight. Sorry about brightness.
Same happened to mine
This video was super helpful!!!! It also appears they have a huge defect !!!!!
Yes
I have the same spa same brand same problem however mine is blue inside, I never see it anywhere on eBay or Amazon, just white inside. I got a hand air pump 10 bucks , tired of unhooking the water to air it up a little, for me problem solved.
That is a good idea. My old small spa had a separate pump.

I wonder how long this will hold up. I'm having the same issue with mine. I'll probably be trying a repair soon. Thanks for posting the video.
Not sure a soft side spa is a good investment. But I do like it when it works.
dripping out of my air hose Only when it is not pumping air
Turns out it was just a washer in between the screw fitting from pump to tub didn't need to open the pump at all People should probably check that before they start taking screws out
Did it work? Can you use flex-seal?
So far it worked, not sure about the flex seal

Good luck. They should build better.
Did you fix it? Mine is doing the same thing!
so far so good

I have the same problem
bummer they should warranty these problems

Bummer. It may be leaking. Wish they made better quality.

Can't see nothing for your flashlight shining on it
Sorry about that.
Great video! My bubbles aren't working, and I do see water under the pump. Any advice?
Sounds like the fan pump leaking if your not getting an error code
My air seal is damaged and it's hard to reach. Anyone have any tips?
not sure
I just discovered the same issue. Did you ever repair it?
sealing the gasket area worked. thanks for watching
@@workwithkevin your welcome!
I had the same problem then sealed it then the top filter started leaking, not my day . Any advice anyone
Same problem. Did you fix work?
So far so good
@@workwithkevin I used a marine epoxy and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you for the info, I would have tossed out the entire spa if I hadnt run across your video.
What did did it work
So far so good
This tub design is a joke I DON'T RECCOMMEND buying one
Yes a money grab
Maybe buy a real one
If you could for 500
