WE JUST GOT A NEW TO US SPA 2 MONTHS AGO FROM A REPUTABLE GUY AT A GOOD PRICE.

TRYING TO BE GOOD OWNERS WE CLEANED ALL THE HARD WATER OUT OF THE JETS BY TAKING THEM APART FROM THE INSIDE AND CLEANING ALL THE HARD WATER OFF OF THEM AND EMPTIED AND REFILLED THE TUB

WHEN WE REFILLED IT WE WERE LOVING IT UNTIL WE RECOGNIZED A LEAK IN ONE OF THE FRONT JETS, AND A LOOSE FITTING NEXT TO THE ELECTRICAL BOX. SO WE DRAINED IT AGAIN. BUT DURING THIS TIME WE DIDN'T DARE USE IT AND LET IT GET ABOUT 35-40 DEGREES OUTSIDE ONE NIGHT. COULD THIS HAVE FROZEN AND STARTED THE NEXT PROBLEMS WE ARE NOW HAVING....

WHEN WE REIFILLED IT A THIRD TIME WE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING TO IT ALL DRY BY THE MOTORS AND HEATER, (EVERTHING WE FIXED)BUT NOW UNDERNEATH IT THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES WITH SMALL DRIPS!!! AND THEY DON'T DRIP ALL THE TIME OR VERY MUCH. IT SITS IN A HALF ENCLOSED DECK WITH ONLY TWO SIDES ACESSIBLE.

NOW THAT I HAVE TOLD MY EPIC, WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO GETTNG THIS FIXED THAT I CAN DO MYSELF, OR DO I JUST NEED TO CALL A SERVICE PERSON? PLEASE HELP!!!!

water will not freeze above 32 degrees F. Your leaks are likely to be from other problems in the plumbing that existed before you got the tub. There is a chance that handling the jets may have created some leaks as well, especially if you removed the retaining rings. If you did remove the retaining rings, remove them again, clean, reseal. Otherwise it's down to carving out the foam and following the path of the water to find and repair the leaks.
