Watch this if you own a Hot Tub / Spa. Myline Venus Spa Leak.

Описание: A full video of all the steps taken will follow.
But there is no need to watch this video or the longer one to come....

If you own a spa / hot tub you MUST inspect the internals regularly, or get it inspected by the shop you purchased it from.

Out of sight is out of mind, and that could prove very costly.

Any residue as seen in this video means you have a leak.
Run the pumps to check the bearings/seals.

Get the spa checked every 6 months, make sure you start doing this whilst the spa is under warranty!

This spa has been very well looked after but the impeller housing seals have failed prematurely. This is common on Chinese made impeller housings, is well known in the industry, and you shouldn't be paying to have your spa repaired at 3 years old.

I was told by the shop that complete motor assemblies had to be fitted as the manufacturer of our MyLine Venus spa did not supply any spares.
A totally ridiculous situation and unacceptable.
The video to follow shows the steps I took to get this resolved.

But simply, new seals were obtained for £18.50 per pump housing and I repaired the spa myself.
The shop eventually decided to offer two new impeller housings but not until I had researched this thoroughly and proved that this is a common issue and that parts are available and they should have told me that in the first place rather than try and get nearly £600 out of us...........

Based on the lack of water required to top the spa up since I repaired it, plus the motor shaft corrosion, the leak has been present for a year or more.

You have been warned!
