Does my hot tub have a circulation pump?
Not every hot tub is equipped with a circulation pump, some have 2-speed pumps instead. To identify if your model has a circulation pump, look at the number of Amps on the label. If it is under 1.5 Amps, it is a circulation pump.
How to tell if spa pump is bad?
There are several signs of hot tub pump failure:
- Humming noise from motor not turning, frozen shaft, bearings or impeller, or defective starting capacitor.
- Whining noise from worn bearings.
- Leaks under the pump from a failure of the pump seals.
How does a circulation pump work in a Master Spa?
Many hot tubs today, however, come with separate circulation pumps to keep water flowing and clean. Most master spas have two different types of pumps, one for hot tub circulation and one for jet power. Jet pumps pull the spa water through a filter and push it back out through the jets.
What’s the second speed of a hot tub pump?
A second speed is used for jet action (approx 3450 RPM). This speed will depend on the HP rating of the pump and the number of jets hooked up to the pump. The jet action can be done either by a separate hot tub pump or a pump that has two speeds. If an independent pump is used the system will have a circulation pump and a jet pumps.

How does a jet pump work in a hot tub?
A typical hot tub, whether it’s saltwater or mineral system, uses the jet pumps to move water through the hot tub filters. The fabric of the filter will catch particles and debris that you don’t want in the water. The filtration cycles will take place at preset intervals and when you use your hot tub.
