DIY ... Diverter Valve R/R ... Will work with most Hot Tubs / Spas

DIY Diverter Valve R/R this fix will work on most Hot Tubs and Spas...What changes is how you find and then fix the problem..Some spas have sprayed in insulation and other like this one have large removable panels but the one thing that is the same on all spas is once you find the problem and get it prepped for the task at hand you follow all of the same steps and and you will get the same results that I do..

As alway Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING

💯You are doing such a kind act of help to us newbies on figuring out how to manage our hot tubs so we do not have to rely on service people. East Canada here🇨🇦 and a female working on a leak 💪of a roto molded 2 person hot tub. I certainly channelled you a lot as I patiently worked a bit every day on the process. Jacking it up 24 inches, pulling out all the spray foam for 4-5 hours total, bagged it up, and started cleaning up the mess so to have a clear area to get underneath so I can see a lot of the plumbing. I even found a defect in how a hose was pinched under the basin where feet generally rest. I used a wedge to get some distance between the underside of the foot bed and the upper side of the bottom of the hot tub. This was enough for me to pull it out. It was pinched in two area's. I wonder if I will make a difference when I get this fixed.
Anyway, I keep your mantra over and over in my head as I picked away at the task. "Remember it's just a hot tub in the back yard. It heats up and blows bubbles. That is all there is to it. Don't go crazy!." Then I would tell myself, Meg, You Got This!
So I found it was the light seal area that was leaking. Once I fix that I will continue the process of putting more water in to the next jet level and pause and check the plumbing.
It is jacked up so what I plan to do is leave it jacked up and for a bit I will use it and still be able to check underneath while the hoses are hot. I want to see if the two pinched areas on the hose opened up a bit due to the heat. If not then I want to take the pinch out with some plumbing tools. Cheers, the task continues, from East Canada. 🍁👍🇨🇦

Good Idea with putting water into pool.

What if I have a 1" diverter and that is no longer available and I need to use a 2", will that require cutting the shell?

Enjoy all your informative videos. I have been bringing back to life a 2005 Dynasty Neptune Oceana. It's been sitting under shelter for about 10 years. It's working great with the exception of some jets that I've been working on and replacing. My question to you is the two large diverter valves turn freely when the pumps are off. They are difficult to turn when the pumps are on. I haven't taken them apart yet. Any advice?

Great videos and the information has been really helpful. I have a 5 year old D1 Diplomat Spa, that leaked inside long enough that the wooden crossmember is rotted to the point of just pushing a screwdriver in it like butter.
Anyway, i removed the foam to find the lead at the diverter valve for Pump 1. The original lines are just pulled out, as they were not glued in well, so small leak for years, then it got much worse. I will likely take out more foam to get to the bottom board to replace it. Also to let it dry some.
Can you tell me about the replacement foam insulation. Is that something I just buy at a spa supply house? Hoping that not horribly expensive.

Hey, I’m in Tempe. I’m trying to get an old tub up. Do you have contact info?

[abrahambrinez]

Thank you SPA MAN for showing in a very illustrative way the replacement of the diverter valve. I have exactly the same problem with a Hydropool SPA and this video is very useful for me.
Is it possible to replace the Hydropool valve with another brand?
Do you sell parts at the Arizona Hot Tub Factory?
Thanks a lot.
Abraham.

would a 6 inch flex hose be long enough to heat up get a coupler in between?? I currently have a rubber boot with clamps in between two hard pipes. Not sure if it will hold

I have a brand new sunbelt hot tub with foot dome, only has 30 jets, plus the foot dome that has one large center nozzle and 4 small jets. total of 35 jets.Only one 220 pump. There is a diverter valve that manufacturer says is supposed to completely shut off the foot dome . I have turned the valve every which way and it will only lower the water put out by the big jet, I turn it the opposite way it it turns into a volcano jet.Problem is with the volcano turned down all the way, only one seat of jets work and 4 other jets, all the rest hardly put out any water.With the foot dome all the way open, hardly any of the jets put out water. The local spa store we bought tub from sent their tech and he took out diverter, said it was put in correct and that the foot dome will never be turned completely off. So, now I have expensive foot massager. Is diverter valve meant to shut off water from one set of jets and divert to other jets? Im thinking the manufacturer made a mistake with the plumbing.Or somethings wrong with diverter.

Is there a way to override the 104° limit on a Viking spa with a balboa vs502 controller?

[cosmicjayofficial]

Thank you spa dad! You showed me the steps very well! I am wondering what type of wrench you use to remove the big nut on the old diverter valve? I only have channel locks and looks like I need one twice the size. Its also in a tight spot so wondering if there are any angled wrenches for this step?

Is it called a collar wrench or something else?

Thanks!
