Spa leakage Wave spa is torn or punctured Follow these steps to locate the source of the puncture.
1. Drain the water in your Spa and then fully inflate it.
2. You should hear hissing sounds from the source of the leak, and these can guide you to the location of the puncture.
3. If no sound can be heard however, please wipe or spray the Spa with soapy water. This will create large air bubbles at the source of the leak.
4. If you are still unable to locate the puncture, please repeat the steps but in the inside of the Spa itself, as well as around the base and along the seams.
- If you have one of our integrated heater Spas, the liner’s warranty is 1 year, and 6 months for our other models. Once you have located the source of the leak, and your Spa is in warranty, please send us a clear photo or video of the puncture and we can then proceed with resolving the issue for you. If your Spa is out of warranty, please use the repair patch provided to repair the puncture.
