Spas and hot tubs have a wide array of PVC or polyvinyl chloride pipes that encircle the tub and help in circulating water throughout. The water flow is driven by a pump which is powered by an electric motor. Both the motor and pump produce a great rate of water flow and some sort of vibration that can. Over time, it can badly affect the glued joints and other seals which cause them to leak.

Spa Plumbing

Spa PVC plumbing parts and accessories include manifolds, unions, couplings, valves, hoses, tubing, gaskets, and PVC glue. All of them are used to repair spa plumbing leaks. Hot tub hoses and pipes are interconnected with the PVC fittings, manifolds, and connectors which help in routing water from a single pump to multiple jets and places within the spa including the whirlpool jets, waterfall jets, and other water features. Most recent model spas and hot tubs use a manifold plumbing system. This unit is specifically designed for distributing water pressure evenly to the individual spa jets.
