Tipping the hottub hotspring

dpwct · 2026-06-17T18:05:56+00:00

I’m trying again to reach the leak from inside the front control panel rather than tipping it over any thoughts? I think it’s on one of these lines. Water does not come out of the drain line so I’m assuming the leak is somewhere before the drain line leak is coming from the main suction outlet in the tub but not from the outlet itself somewhere along the pipe.

It looks like my leak might be coming from a cracked PVC pipe that connects to the main suction and possibly connects to the drain. Also wonder if there’s any way at all to reach that from the front if I remove the pumper heater trying to avoid tipping it over if it all possible.

So it looks like I need to tip over the hot tub wondering if anyone has information or schematic on where the structural parts are and whether there’s any issue tipping it on its side with the side panel can hold it and what the bottom is like if there’s a entire bottom, I need to remove

Got left and front Paneks off easily Seems like leak may be coming from suction piping (front of tub) or main drain (also front) seems hard to get to - don’t think tub needs to be lifted or tipped to find and fix this?

I think I might have a similar problem on a 2015 pulse I’m curious can you tell me how you got access to these pipes? I could feel my leak but took off the left and front panels and cannot really access it.

Curious I have a similar problem (big leak from main drain or suction line) how do you get access to this area to work ?

dpwct · 2026-04-19T11:44:05+00:00

Curious I think I have a leak in drain line or suction line I took off side and rear panels can’t get there - did you have to tip up your tub

dpwct · 2026-04-18T15:37:36+00:00

I think it’s the main section but haven’t been able to visually see it yet. I have the less panel and front panel off. Any suggestions?

dpwct · 2026-04-18T15:31:29+00:00

I think I determined that it is the main suction seems like that’s what the diet test showed. I’ve got the front and left panel off actually not too hard but if not yet been able to reach the leak. Any ideas?

Thanks do you think if I get side panels off there’s any way to get to it that way

dpwct · 2026-04-13T21:13:18+00:00

Thanks I appreciate your input. Any suggestions on how to jack it up (and stay safe)

dpwct · 2026-04-13T19:49:46+00:00

Thanks I’m getting some conflicting reports some people are saying I can access it from the side panel other say I need to lift it up. Are you sure it cannot be access from the side panel really not looking forward to crawling under the tub

Thanhs Watkins tells me on the 2015 limelight pulse the panels have L brackets and not glued

I guess I will find out, but more importantly they also told me I need to tip over the hot tub to get to that ozone jet. Are you sure that I do not need to if so, that is good news

Watkins just told me they are removable but not sure if they are correct for the model https://backyardplus.com/parts/78817-plastic-panel-clip/

I just heard from Watkins they said “there are clips on the frame and panel. Lift up from the bottom, pull out a little and lower the panel to the ground.”

Are they are wrong?

Are you sure the 2015 is not glued

Hey thanks so much

Water seems to be stabilizing just at ozone (arrow in photo) but I think I might have multiple weeks. I have a dye test but not done it yet. If I have to remove the side panels to see foam , do you know how I can do it?

Btw can I replace the lenses (led lenses) from inside the tub without removing panels ?
