Just got a Hot Tub and my warranty is already void?

Depending on the model, you may be able to remove all the side panel to see where the water is coming from. It might be a pipe issue.

Good luck!

Kind of unlikely its the tub itself leaking. When I had a leak I found it was a pwc fitting connecting the water jet hoses. It was buried inside of spray foam insulation so I had to do a bit of exploratory diging to find it. I had pretty good access so was not too big of a deal. fwiw

We have removed the panels and cannot identify where the leak is coming from. It is my understanding that the unit needs to be raised off the floor, filled (at least partially) and run. As was suggested, it is most likely a pipe leak. Unfortunately, we can't do it ourselves.

If the leak is small there is a product that you put in the tub & it seals from the inside , works great . google it
