Unplug and drain the hot tub. Let it dry completely.
Reverse the suction or change your hoses around on your vacuum so that you have one hose that blows air.
Slide the hose under your hot tub cover and seal up any open spaces around the hose with duct tape so that it is as airtight as possible.
Turn on the vacuum. Move around the outside of the hot tub as it is filling with air and use a paintbrush to paint liquid soap onto the outside of the hot tub. Focus on areas where hot tubs tend to leak, such as where pipes meet the housing or where jet bodies protrude from the underside of the hot tub's shell. If there is a leak, you will see the liquid soap start to bubble up.
