Spa Skimmer Leak


The spa was losing 2-3 inches of water each day to the bottom of the skimmer plate. After investigation noticed the second gasket between the skimmer and spa was leaking. The leak was in the lower right hand corner at the screw. Removed both gaskets and ordered new ones to install next week. Found out the bottom of the spa does take water into the pump and can operate the spa daily. Cleaned the main filter that appears to be covered in green/black mold with high pressure hose. Going to use the pressure washer to clean up the filter more and added pool shock to kill any mold that may still be in the lines. The spa is much cleaner and chlorine is reading high.
