Checking the equipment
We started at the equipment pad. It was dry, with no leaks. The filter and a valve actuator had recently been replaced, and the automated valves switched correctly through each mode. The spa blower, the pool light and the spa light all worked, and the heater raised the spa 7 degrees while we were there.
Plumbing and dye tests
The plumbing test found no leaks in the lines, and the dye test found no leaks in the pool or spa. The pool is not leaking.
An epoxied skimmer
Inside the skimmer body we found epoxy. That usually means someone covered a crack. Epoxy isn't a repair, and cracks like this tend to grow, so we recommended replacing the skimmer before it starts leaking. See why epoxy is not a permanent fix.
A loose spa spillover
The spillover, where the spa flows into the pool, was completely loose and not attached, which lets water get underneath it. It needs to be reset and sealed.
Two broken fittings
One spa jet fitting was cracked, with pieces stuck inside the jet, and the fitting for the waterfall overflow line was missing. Neither was leaking, but both need to be replaced.
