Can you add a waterfall to a hot tub?
Waterfalls are a great option for a homeowner who wants to include something fun for their pool and spa. A waterfall that starts from the side of your hot tub and continues into your pool also helps connect your swimming pool and spa, which ties your backyard together.
Why is my spa empty?
Normally if a pool system is perfect, it’s sealed so that the water won’t drain out from the pump or anywhere else when it shuts off, but if there’s an air leak, it loses that seal and everything floods back to the pool. That’s another reason why your spa could drain out.
How does a hot tub diverter valve work?
A diverter valve moves water from one area of the spa to another while an on/off valve such as that used for a waterfall allows for regulation of water flow. There are air control valves that are plumbed to air lines and water control valves that are plumbed into water lines.

How can I diagnose a leak in my spa?

Why does the water drop when the spa is off?
Mark how much the water level falls when the spa is off. If the water drops equally with the spa running and not, there is a crack in the spa’s shell. Rapid loss with the pump running indicates a leak after the water leaves the pump.

While it is rare the spa shell itself would leak, it is possible. Most blisters or surface cracks in the acrylic layer of the shell are only cosmetic, and rarely cause leaks.
Why does my spa drain backwards when the pump is off?
I’ve seen the check-valve leak (not keep water from back-flowing through the system when the pump is off) and cause the spa to drain backwards – especially in raised spa configurations.
