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.
