Reviving a 1997 Hot Springs Sovereign Spa Model I

After sitting neglected for over 15 years, this 1997 Hot Springs Sovereign Spa Model I finally got the TLC it deserved! Join me as I take this free, broken-down hot tub and transform it into a working spa— all for under $300. From fixing leaks and replacing pumps to scrubbing years of grime, this restoration was a labor of love and a test of patience.

If you’re considering restoring an old spa or just love a good DIY success story, this video is for you. Along the way, I share the tools, tips, and techniques I used to bring this relic back to life, plus the challenges I faced (hello, roach poop and busted hoses).
