Hot Tubs Modes and Fixes: To Do or Not to Do...

Once you've got your hot tub installed, the work doesn't stop there. Like any other device ever made by the hand of man, hot tubs can and will eventually break down after some time.

June 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Or, assuming that the hot tub is extremely well made and never really has any special need for repairs, there is still the possibility that you or someone in your house will get it into their heads to upgrade the tub, redecorate the room, or some other idea that will require your tinkering with the tub all over again.

Here are some of the most common scenarios:

Repairing Shell Leaks

This is pretty easy IF you're not too finicky about the appearance of your tub. Leaks can be caused by anything, from faulty seams in wooden boards that make up a Jacuzzi to cracks in the cement, to loose pipe seams at the point where they connect to the tub. Usually, water-proof sealants are enough to handle the most common problems of this nature. Just make sure that the sealant you get is meant for bonding to the type of material of your tub shell. Using "generic" sealants is rarely a good idea; buy something meant to adhere specifically to whatever your tub's made of and you'll be fine. If the leak in the shell is larger than what can be fixed with a little bit of putty and sealant though, call the experts...

Replacing Pipes

Unless you're pretty good with plumbing, this is never a good idea to DIY. You require an intimate knowledge of the piping in your house to replace pipes successfully. If you don't have much experience with plumbing beyond fixing a stuck toilet, call an expert. It's better than trying to explain to the wife how you forgot to turn the water-main off before working on the hot tub and wound up flooding the house... On a smaller note, we can assume that if the pipes you're fixing/replacing are directly connected to the tub, this is something most DIY handy men can still manage to fix.
