Hot tub repair in West Seattle: the local picture
West Seattle is a peninsula of view lots: Alki and Beach Drive at sea level, Admiral and Gatewood on the ridge, Fauntleroy and Arbor Heights sloping to the Sound, and Delridge and High Point in the valley behind. About 15 minutes southwest of downtown over the West Seattle Bridge.
West Seattle is on Seattle's Cedar River supply — roughly 1.5 grains of hardness with alkalinity around 24 ppm — soft, aggressive water that pulls calcium out of heater sheaths and pump seals rather than depositing scale on them.
Tubs on Alki, Beach Drive and the Fauntleroy bluff get salt wind straight off Puget Sound — covers lift, heater run-time climbs, and anything steel in the cabinet corrodes faster than anywhere else in the city. There are a lot of large, well-specified view-deck spas here — Hot Spring, Caldera, Bullfrog — that were bought with the house and are worth keeping, plus older tubs on the Delridge and Westwood side that have been patched by three owners.

West Seattle note. On a bluff or beach lot we weigh the cover and check the wind straps first; a saturated cover on Alki costs more in heat than a failing element does.
