First, check your equipment area with the pump both on and off. Most hot tub leaks are at the pump seals and are caused by poor water chemistry.
If all is dry in the equipment area you have two options. The first and easiest is to add swimming pool stop leak. (Google it) You will follow the instuctions exactly with the exeption of how much of the product you will add. The typical quart of stop leak will treat 10,000 gallons. Just add the whole quart to your hot tub. The quart is only $20.00 and your spa will have to be drained after the stop leak has ran it's course.
Assuming your hot tub is fully foamed. (Other wise remove the cabinet doors and use a flash light to check the pvc fittings.) Your second option is to have a few of your friends come over to help you pick up the hot tub and set it on cinder blocks. The reason we do this is becauce it is much easier to chase a water leak from below than to try and dig out all the sides till you get lucky. Once the spa is up on cinder blocks fill it up and let it run for a day. This will give you a nice drip trail to follow.

For future post try to be a little more specific. You'll find that you'll get the answer your looking for a lot faster.

DRAINING THE SPA:
1. Unplug power pack from electrical receptacle before draining spa.
2. Put the rubber plug into the outlet in the inner wall of the spa.
3. Open the outlet in the outer wall of the spa. Screw one end of inflation hose into it.
4. Remove the rubber plug from the outlet in the inner wall of the spa.This will allow water to flow out of the spa. 5.When water is completely drained, press BUBBLE and run for 2-3 minutes to drain the water in the air pipeline. 6.When drainage is finished, remove the inflation hose and replace cap on outside of spa. Store rubber plug for future use.

SPA STORAGE
Make sure all water is drained from the spa and control box.This is essential to extend the life of the spa.We recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum to blow out or suck up water from the spa pipes and pump lines. Remove the filter cartridge. It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm, dry place.
Note: Plastic becomes brittle and susceptible to breakage when exposed to subzero temperatures. Freezing can severely damage the spa. Improper winterization of your spa may void your warranty.

if no drain at bottom usually with hose connection on it use a sump pump or syphon make sure power is off until fully refilled

this is taken right from a jewel series QCA hot tub manual.....Winterizing
In very cold weather you may not want to venture outside to use your spa. In this case, you may move it to a heated area, or leave it as is until the weather warms. If you do leave the spa unused for a long period of time in severely cold weather, you should winterize the spa to avoid accidental freezing due to a power or equipment failure.. Follow these easy steps: Turn power to the spa OFF. Drain the spa. Use a wet vac to **** or blow out the air injectors, water jets and water suction fittings. Add 1-3 gallons of RV antifreeze, depending on the size of the spa, to all the air injectors, water jets, suction drains, and filter. Caution: Any lines not receiving adequate antifreeze are subject to freeze damage!

There is probably a drain valve somewhere near the control panel ... forgetabout it ... too slow.

Best way is to get a small pump and pump it away. Next best is wet dry (shop vac). My favorite is siphon ... dont have to buy anything or drag anything out ... only a hose. By the time my water is out ... I have had time to do the necessary surface cleaning and waxing.

If you have drained the spa latly and refilled you could have an air lock keeping the heater dry. Simpley find the drain valve under the spa and open it till it run's water. This should help the problem by letting the pressure even in the pipeing and flooding. Good luck.

The Fantasy has a drain located in the toekick of the spa. You have to first remove the drain cap, attach a hose if you wish, spin the outer black ring counter clockwise to start the water flow, then pull the outer ring out away from the tub to increase the drain to full flow.
I understand that a screw driver is often needed to pull the outer ring out to achieve full flow. Therefore, I suggest another method. Take a garden hose and place it in front of the jet while the spa jets are on. This will force water flow thru the hose and prime the hose. Once you see water running from the other end of the hose, drop the hose in front of the spa jet into the footwell and as long as the loose end is lower than the end in the footwell, a siphon will drain the spa as fast as the spa drain will. Remember to turn off electric to the spa once you have established a siphon. You may have to bucket the last bit of water in the footwell. Goodluck.
