There are some specialist glues available for this. You will need a good quality flexible adhesive. The spa sides will stretch when inflated so you may need to put on an oversized patch.
Note that some plastic Spas might not be repairable depending on how bad the leak is.
dollar store contact cement in tube., an old bike tire, cut a patch out of tire and glue the patch on glueing around hole and underneath patch. apply patch smoothly. now glue around edge of patch. and let it dry for a few days at least 24 hrs. I have patched a bic yakka and a few cheaper inflatables patches hold up and hold air. good luck.
If the tear is large, or the speaker cone is brittle because of age, you might be best off having the speaker completely reconed. There are companies that offer the service, or you can buy replacement cones and do it yourself.
For small tears (an inch or so long), you can glue a patch in place. I have used a piece of a paper coffee filter as a patch, and plain white Elmer's glue slightly thinned with water. Put the patch over the tear and use a small brush to spread a thin layer of glue over it. Give it a day to thoroughly dry and you should be set.
I have found this repair to be more effective on smaller speakers than on large woofers, though. The woofer cones are more mechanically active. But I patched a couple of 15-inch cones that had been punctured for a friend, and they are still playing after a year. So it can't hurt to try.
You should replace it. Machine is I think made by Whirlpool, google for spares/parts, there are many sellers.
As a last ditch attempt if you don't want to spend much use a strong light and inspect carefully, you may find a split which can be glued with cyanoacrylate (super) glue and a thin rubber patch, if it's a small split. I don't know the model as I am in the UK but sometimes you can rotate the seal so that the repaired hole is at the top.It depends how valuable your time is.
Repair manuals are available for example

They make underwater patch kits that are very simple to use. You cut a patch and apply glue, fold the patch in half with the glue faceing in. take it to the leak and slowley unfold against the hole. smooth out and make sure edges are sealed down. Keep pressure on the patch as instructed on package. Then let cure. Good luck.
oooo.... thats tricky.... grab a vinly repair kit at the pool store... cut the patch in a rounded form .... (circle is best)
you only have a couple seconds to do this once glue is applied to the patch.....-> fold the patch over itself with the glue tucked into the fold, head under water and right above said leak... unfold and rapidly apply the patch....smear out any air you see in the patch towards the edges...
finally take a test syringe (available at the pool store) with some test dye and shoot VERY SLOWLY the dye at the edges of the patch... if you fixed it the dye will just kind of hang out.... if you still have a leak the dye will "slip" out of the pool... and youllneed to pull off the patch and start again.... good news is its the coolest job on the honey do list
First I would use some fabric glue (you can get it in the craft or fabric stores) then I would put a patch on it to cover the damaged part and make the fabric stronger. Some of the iron on patches are not very strong and they start to come off. Maybe just glue on a patch with the fabric glue. Good luck!
No really. You need to replace the entire walking belt. Not to hard of a job and most replacement belts come with some instructions. We use www.treadmillpartszone.com for parts.
