Pool & Hot Tub
Visible leak from a pump, hose, or fitting
Likely cause, what to safely try first, and whether it gets worse if you wait.
Likely cause
A worn seal, cracked fitting, or damaged liner.
What to try first
- Turn off the equipment at that leak point if safely accessible, to limit water/chemical loss.
- Note exactly where the water is coming from — this speeds up diagnosis significantly.
⚠ This tends to get worse (and more expensive) the longer it's left unaddressed — worth acting on soon.
