Help,I have a minor drip that is comming thru from a spray foam surrounded fitting that is an appox 2 around with 6 small lines taking off from it, almost like a manifold. the problem is I thought I had the leak stopped after digging through the foam, I respayed it and another leak surfaced. The spa looses about 10 gallon a week. I read somewhere about a "stop leak" kind of product. Ps thanks for you help on the controller, you saved me hundreds, Tim

Unfortunately the only real solution with this is to REALLY dig out the entire manifold and hoses to the point to where you can maneuver it by hand. Just spraying some stuff on a leak will rarely work in the long run especially under these kinds of dynamic pressure situations.

As for a put a bottle of 'stuff' in your water to solve the problem... whew, it's been around for a long time but it would be easier and more reliable in the long run to surgically cut this thing out and replace or repair it as is. Just remember you're talking about a pressure line where it's frequently subjected to changing temperature and pressure conditions and anything short of a good 'physical' repair, is really pushing it.
