tub has settled causing the tub to have an uneven

base. Check for bench block screws that may be in

seam between two staves.

2. If the tub has dried out from being left empty, check

the compression straps for tightness. If the wood

has dried enough to show signs of shrinkage, it is a

good idea to take up the slack with the tightening

bolts. NEVER tighten the straps when the tub is full

of water! Tighten the bottom one primarily. The

upper straps should not be over tightened. Do not

force them. Do not attempt to hit the staves with

the mallet. This could cause additional problems.

3. Check the floor of the tub with a level and inspect

the foundation and chine joists under the tub. If the

foundation is uneven, the tub will need to be

drained and moved, and the foundation problem

fixed.

4. Wood sawdust is one of the simplest and most

effective ways to stop leaks. This is a technique

borrowed from wooden boat builders. The wood

dust will find its way into the leak because of the

water movement, and help to stop the leak.

Included with your tub was a small bag of fine wood

sawdust. If you can't find it or need more, you may

be able to find some locally at a woodshop or we

can send some to you.

Important: if you installed a filter, remove the filter

cartridge from the filter during this procedure,

otherwise it will clog.

Drain the tub and spread a cup or two of fine

wood dust on the floor of the tub, or alternatively,

use a little water to make a peanut butter-like

paste of the wood dust and smear some directly

on the area that is leaking. Refill the tub. As the

water is added, the wood sawdust will be naturally

drawn to places where the water is keeping out and

accelerate the swelling and sealing of the tub. The

dust is harmless and the excess will be flushed out

the first time you drain and rinse the tub. Note: It

may take more than one treatment to slow or fix

the leak, but this method works in almost every

case.

5. If the above solutions have not worked, apply a

small amount of silicone to the leaking area on

the inside of the tub. The surface of the

wood must be completely dry for the silicone to

adhere.
