Arber tub, where is the leak

Hi .. I hope maybe someone can give me some ideas...we have a beautiful Arber (Pacific Hot Tub) which is leaking and we can not find the source. Has anyone had any leaks with theirs? We have tried the stop leak stuff twice now and while it seemed to help for a bit..(3 -4 months) at a time, it still keeps leaking. We had the technician out and he has replaced a seal. He has contacted the manufacturer and they want us to do a leak test. Mark the water mark, refill up and wait 24hours and check to see how much has gone down. Before they will authorize any more work ...We have no problem doing this, we just want to find the problem and get it fixed before our warranty is over.. The problem we are facing is we live East Coast Atlantic and our tub is installed sunk into the deck. So if the tub has to be taken apart ..we will have to tear deck out and we need to do this before the cold cold winter and snow sets in... Can anyone give us some advice?? Thanks in advance. Jillie

Unfortunately the leak could be anywhere. The tech you had come out should have done a dye test. Ask him for the dye and put it in 3 days before he returns. That should help him locate the area the leak is in. Remember to remove your filter before adding the dye. Where on the east coast are you? Do you have a crawl space under the deck? Is it a full foam spa?
