How to fix water leaks from pipes A)   Disconnect all power to the spa. Inspect the equipment compartment. If leak is under the pump, this indicates a possible pump seal failure. If leak is detected, replace pump or install new seal, as appropriate. B)   Check all union fittings at hot tub pump and heater.  Unions can even vibrate loose on a brand new spa during shipment, and should be hand tightened if necessary.  If hand tightening is difficult, loosen pump mounting bolts, move components into alignment, then tighten unions and re-tighten pump mounting bolts.  Never use a wrench to tighten spa unions.

The toilet has the largest drainpipe, so the sink drain, which is smaller in diameter, will empty into the toilet drain line. The Toilet Drain 1-Connect a 3-inch PVC closet bend to the bottom of the toilet flange located in the floor where the toilet will sit. A closet bend is sweeping 90-degree elbow that connects the flange to a 3-inch drainpipe that runs between the floor joists. There is no need to install a trap beneath the toilet because toilets have built-in traps. 2-Attach the open end of the closet bend to a horizontal 3-inch drainpipe. The drainpipe runs horizontally only until it can descend to connect with the house’s main
