Important Pool & Spa Considerations

Tear-Aid may be useful for certain compatible poolside and spa accessories, but it should not automatically be considered an approved repair for a Softub spa wall, liner, pressure-bearing component, or safety-critical cover.

For Softub-specific repairs, contact Splash Pool & Spa to confirm the correct manufacturer-approved repair method before applying an adhesive patch.
