Hey fellas,
Scored a free hot tub on craigslist. Problem is it has a pretty serious leak from the union between the heater tailpipe (stainless steel) and the PVC. I replaced the o-ring already, and that hasn't helped. The tub is old (1993), and the company that makes it (Morgan), doesn't sell parts for this tub anymore.
I'd like to be able to fix this myself, before I invest more money in a plumber coming out to fix the leak, only to find out the tub doesn't actually work once I get it filled up.
I welcome all advice, even if it means sealing the union up for good somehow. As long as the thing holds water I'll be happy. It was free after all, I'm not worried about not being able to open up the union at a later date to service it.
Thanks for your help!
