I am really concerned about what happens if the unit falls off into the water. Anyone have experience with this?

This product is submersible , the motor is sealed, but with that said, it isn't worth the money. We regret the purchase.

It is a class 2 UL E243186 approved power supply reducing the voltage from 120 volts to 12 volts. this means that it is derived from an isolated transformer. It is designed for the purpose. Just don't drop the power supply into the tube. If you due drop the Bath SPA in dry it off and you can use it. again. For me it worked just fine.

I have used this turbo spa a couple of times, no problems. I swing around the jet while in the tub and the turbo spa adheres to the side of the tub.

My unit broke after 2 months usage :(. Though I don't have have waterproof issue yet, it remains a concern to me.

You should check to be sure the unit is absolutely level. If it isn't, the water may flow into the tank instead of the hose. (Had it happen to me.)

I have the same problem. Did you end up submerging it horizontally? Does it work?

Try this: Remove cover, empty out all the water and then fill it with fresh water. If that doesn't work, then try this: unplug it, remove cover, inside you will see sensor (it sticks up a little with a silver metal on top) touch the sensor with your finger. For some reason this works. I think the sensor gets stuck "thinking" the water level is low, so the unit doesn't go on.

Mine has been fully submerged (including the controls) for a year and is still working perfectly. The description says it's submersible. Go ahead and submerge it.

This may work for you. I found that if there is not water inside, just take the batteries out and let it "rest" for several days. Then fire it back up. I did that with my current unit and it has been working well for about six months now. Had this problem with multiple units.

This happened to me when I first tried to clean out the unit. I didn't want to take a chance to I separated the motor assembly from the fluid chamber and dried it, while keeping the wires attached, with a fan. Once apart I could see that the electronics could be exposed to water. After I felt comfortable that the electronics were dry I reassembled the unit and it worked just fine. Now 'm very carful about keeping the unit facing down when cleaning.

Mine used to fall off too. If you haven't already thrown it out, call them and have them send you a new replacement adapter that is metal. They know about this issue and will send it out for free.

Hi, this is Steve over at Aqua Products. We have not had problems with this unit and Intex pools, but that is not to say it could not happen. My recommendation is to proceed with caution as this will not be covered under the warranty.

Hi Beverly! I threw it away after the float position broke - it just got too dangerous. Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

Mine has given me no problem at all and it gets wet a lot. For the price a guy could have a couple on hand!

I think you can drop it in water and it will be okay. If you leave it in water you might have problems. I have gotten mine in water by accident but it still worked when I pulled it out.

Yes this will float on the water if you accidentally drop it in since it has air inside it and the air doesn't easily get out (it will not instantly sink like a rock). However, I did a test on it (seeing your question) and if you leave it in for a while, it will start filling the inside with water and start sinking (I left it for an hour and it was 1/2 filled).

I have not had this occur, but there is an o-ring which looks like it will insure that it still works after falling in the water.

This happened to ours for a brief moment. I was attempting to turn it off while it was being directly hit with the water, speaker holes up, water went right in. It became fuzzy and I assumed there was water near the speaker. I left it out of the shower over night, and the next time I used it, it worked fine. I do feel like it is possible to get the speaker wet, which I would think, would ruin, or in the very least, distort sound quality.
