Spa & Hot Tub Leak Detection in Sarasota & Venice, FL
Spa dropping overnight while the pool holds steady? We pinpoint spa and hot tub leaks — jets, spillover, plumbing, or shell. Call 941-599-3921.
An attached spa packs more plumbing into a few square feet than the rest of your pool combined — jets, air lines, suction fittings, a spillover, and often its own heater loop. That’s why, when a pool system starts losing water, the spa is one of the first places we look. Splash Pool Leak Detection finds and fixes spa leaks throughout Sarasota County and the surrounding area.
Why Spas Leak More Than Pools
Every jet is a fitting, and every fitting is a potential leak path. Add heat — spas cycle from ambient to over 100 degrees and back — and the sealants and glue joints work harder than anywhere else on the system. Raised spas also settle slightly over time, which stresses the spillover and the plumbing risers underneath.
Is It the Spa or the Pool?
A classic clue: shut the system off and let everything sit overnight. If the spa drops while the pool holds, the problem is on the spa side — shell, jets, or its dedicated plumbing. If the spa drains down only when the pump is off, water may just be flowing backward into the pool through a failed check valve rather than leaving the system. We run proper isolation tests to tell the difference, then dye test each jet and fitting — and pressure test any line the dye testing convicts — to pinpoint the exact leak.
Attached Spas vs. Portable Hot Tubs
We work on in-ground and attached spas — the kind plumbed into your pool system. Portable acrylic hot tubs are usually a job for a spa technician, but give us a call and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Spa Leak FAQs
My spa drains down every night but the pool is fine. What is it?
If the pool gains what the spa loses, it’s usually a failed check valve letting the spa drain back into the pool. If total system water is disappearing, there’s a real leak on the spa side — either way, we can confirm it quickly.
Do you have to drain the spa?
No. Detection is done with the spa full — that’s what makes dye and pressure testing accurate.
Do you handle the spa repair too?
Yes — jets, fittings, and spa plumbing. Repairs under a raised spa can take a return visit, but you’ll know the scope before any work starts.
