Rolls Royce Jets
I don't know if Jets is the right word or if I should call them air holes, but has anyone on the board had the experience of pressure testing the air
line that feeds those row of air jets on the bottom floor of a spa. Its a single row of holes about an 1/8 of an inch in diameter that runs along the
outter perimeter of the spa floor. I don't know what I would use thats easily removable to plug those to be able to pressure up that air line. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Aloha,
Cliff

You could try to stick some golf tees in all but one and then see if it sucks dye in. You would know if it's leaking but you still couldn't
pressurize the line to locate it. Good luck.

Located the leak today. I went there the day prior and put a dab of silicon on each of the holes. Filled the spa up today and opened up one of the
holes. Shot some dye in and oh boy was it sucking it in there.
I got some small plugs coming from Lee and I'm gonna shove them in with some silicon to try and get them to hold in there so I can fill the line with
helium. If anyone got some better suggestions I'd be glad to here them.
I'll keep you all updated.
Aloha,
Cliff

Is it an independent line?
If so, could you just plug each one w/ epoxy to isolate the leak away from the pool and be done with it?

Yes, it is a dedicated line. I have made that suggestion to the head maintenance person, but according to him the Board wants the air line. Several
of the tenenants have expressed their fondness of those bubbles coming from the bottom.
