Can a low speed hot tub be on at the same time?
Remember: you can not check for a low speed problem while high speed is selected; both speeds cannot be on at the same time. If high speed will not engage either, and supply power is correct, you may have an internal wiring or circuit board problem. If not, trouble shoot based on the new symptom. NOTE: Ozonator works on low speed pump circuit.
How to troubleshoot a hot tub and spa pump?
Turn off power to spa. Remove the pump and then remove the electrical housing cover on the top of the pump. Identify the faulty capacitor and replace. You will typically need a 8mm socket screwdriver and a very small flat headed screwdriver. With the new pump housing sealed and all electrics covered, turn the spa back on to dry, test the pump.
What should I do if my spa jets are not working?
Open this valve and there should be the sound of hissing air: keep open until water starts to come out, then close the valve. Force water directly into your spa’s jets with a garden hose, holding the hose directly but gently up against each jet for 20-30 seconds.
Why is my hot tub not turning on?
If there’s no power here, then there’s probably an inside wiring problem. If the high speed does work choose thermostat mode and turn it completely clockwise. If the low speed now works, turn the thermostat completely counterclockwise and turn the timer on completely.
Why does my hot tub pump only work on low speed?
A: When your 2-speed hot tub pump only works on low speed, and never kicks into high speed, there are four possible solutions to check. First , if you are pushing an air switch button, check that the air hose is not crimped or disconnected.
Open this valve and there should be the sound of hissing air: keep open until water starts to come out, then close the valve. Force water directly into your spa’s jets with a garden hose, holding the hose directly but gently up against each jet for 20-30 seconds.
What to do if your hot tub has a short?
If high and low speeds are operating simultaneously, then remove the pump cord and then examine the pump air switch for power. If both have power then there must be wiring trouble inside which has caused a short.
Why does the spa pump need to be on high?
They provide the circulation for the spa filter and heater and give an extra boost when turning the spa jets on high. And when the spa pump ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy – that’s because without water flow, there is no filtration, no sanitation and no heating.
