Final prep...before shotcrete
I pressed down all the rebar ties. Drove some spikes into some foam to keep it in place. I wired the spa jets to improve support and direction. I then vacuumed the broken foam and PVC shavings from the spa and dirt from the pool...
I filled the hole leading to the spa where all the pipes go. I tried to pressure test the spa jet plumbing. I used Xtrawide Duct tape and hose clamps to seal the 2-1/2" pipe. I was able to get up to 10 psi before the tape starting to split. I detected no other leaks as I inspected the joints while the pressure was still relieving.
