Spurlin jetted tub. The housing around the jet is broken. Jet still operates. I would like to get a replacement part. Any advice on where to get one? And how much? Of course, it's on the backside of the tub. How difficult will it be to change out the part?
You can probably get one at your local pool and spa supply. If you do not have an acess door or access panells to that side of the tub, then you may have to take the tub out of its frame. You will first have to TURN OFF ANY POWER SUPPLY to the pump and any other device such as an optional heater etc. Then turn the water supply valves off and disconnect them where they exit the valve.Disconnect the drain by unscrewing the inner drain strainer where the water runs out of the tub and the screws from the trip lever (that works the stopper) and pull it completely out. Remove any caulking around the tubs rim and lift the tub from its frame. Make repairs and replace in this same order.

one of the quick ways to fix leaks at jets is by using Millaput two putty resins mixed and worked round the outside of the defective jet hope this helps

This may be a silly question but, have you tried to, as much of a pain in the **** as it is, tried to look through your, hopefully accsessable acsess panel to see if you can see the leak. I understand that it could be getting out around jets but, there are so darn many places it could be leaking. If you have inspected the jets and they seem to be sound and flush, I'd look elsewhere, for instance, how often, if ever, does the water get to the overfow? They can leak around their seal and sometimes will not be tightly seated. A question I have for you is, do you have drywall or something on the ceiling in your basement and, if so will you be taking it down because of leak. If you have planked floors, you may be able to get an idea, not guaranteed, of exactly where it is leaking which, could let you know which side of the tub the leak is on, hopefully, the one you can see. If it's not on the side you can see, and is a planked floor, you may be able to cut you a little access hole in the ceiling of basement, floor under tub. to see. This may or may not work depending on how the tub was framed and installed but, you would obviosly know where the drain is and could use taht for reference. Anyway, the rings of the jet will come out but, I would give them a good inspection and, if they look sound, it could be something else. How bad of a leak is it and, how long does it take for the leak to show up in the basement?
