Where does this hot tub hose go? (Photo)?

Posted by on . 3 comments.

Hi, I just noticed today that my hot tub was slowly leaking water. I looked underneath and noticed a little hose had come off and was slowly letting out water. Problem is that I can't find where this hose goes or what it's for? It's hard to peek inside and see everything, so can someone please look at the attached photo and let me know what this hose might connect to? The pump, the heater, a pipe, the spa itself? I'm stumped! Thanks.
Sorry, here's the photo of the hose (tube):

    Now that was too easy….
    that hose goes to your ozonator. That white valve is a check valve that wil in time stop working correctly. When you plug the hoses back in make sure the check valve is open from the ozonator. Also be sure to make several loops in the hose and suspend them with a tie strap therefor creating a natural vaccum to keep the water from going from your pipes to the check valve making it fail and thefore flooding your ozonator. Feel free to email me for more info if needed.

    It’s not a chemical feeder from the manufacture since they are using a cheap Value 2000 Balboa spa pack that does not have sensors for that or the ability to dispense or measure any levels except temp.

    OK now that will be $79.50…. lol

    if you have a chlorine feeder or a acid feeder on your hot tube look and see if the hose came off of one of them. It look to me like it is the peace that senses what your chlorine level or ph level would be in your hot tub.

    Use your camera phone to take pics of the hard to reach areas and behind objects. Look particularly in the area where the tube will reach… manufacturers do not usually leave too much extra length on the plumbing.

    Good Luck
