i did it on an Atlantis: used some polyethylene cut from a bottle,sealed with silicone rubber,secured with a couple small stainless steel screws. buildup of Corrosion on the aluminum hub caused the plastic basket of the Atlantis to run off center and wear against the tub,rubbing a hole. | ||

Depends on where is the damage. The final rinse level is a little higher, and the sump area at back is deeper. Spray rinses and recirculation may splatter water around the tub at higher levels. And spin extraction depending on size and type of load. | ||

I’ve patched a lot of tubs. PVC cleaner and glue works well. I use drywall mesh to help build up a good patch. The trick it to patch both sides. | ||

Hole In The Outer Tub Of A Calypso Hi Fernan, What caused the hole ?,
A picture of the fault would be helpful.
I have a couple of extra Calypso outer tubs I you want one get in touch.
If this machine has not been apart it would be good to take it apart and check the U joint seals and relubricate the main shaft seals to try and keep this cool washer running as long as possible.
