We have a Jacuzzi-brand, Triage Plus spa that's about 15 years old. It was with the house when we bought it ~3 years ago. It's always lost a little water, but I don't know what's "typical" with a spa. Last winter it got to the point that we had to shut down the spa (water level was dropping 3-4" a day). I pulled the skirts and found a leaky jet (as I remember, water would drip from it when the pump was on, but not when it was off). I didn't have time to mess with it much back then, so I'm just getting back to it now.
I have a parts catalog that lists this as an "AMH jet" at one point and a "BMH jet" somewhere else. Can anyone tell me the difference? It looks like the pictures of the AMH to me. I'm guessing that I have a crack in the body of the jet, but I can't see anything obvious. Any ideas on how to be certain it's the jet body?
The important question is how to remove the jet. I've tried removing the nut on the back, but that didn't loosen anything up. I put a bunch of silicone sealant around the nut and back up ring and tightened everything back down. That didn't seem to help. (That's why I'm thinking it's a cracked body). It looks like everything is glued in place and that the only way to remove the jet will be to cut the plumbing. Am I missing something here? If I have to cut the plumbing, do I go all the way back to the flex tube? If I need more tube to make up the difference, what's the best way to add some?
Anyone have experience with this sort of thing? I can send photo's if that will help. (I'm also having insulation issues, but that's another post).
TIA
