What could be the reason for the silicone peeling around the jets, filters, and suctions in my Vortex™/Fisher™ Spa?

Silicone peeling around the jets, filters, and suctions is normal for new spas.

This simply means that the factory applied a bit too much silicone when sealing the fittings. The excess silicone may peel off after a certain period of time, which is normal and does not indicate a significant issue. Eventually, the peeling will stop on its own and should not affect the jets, filters, or suctions.
