Part 2 – My spa pump is not working

A bathtub modern spa consist of at least one of the bomb, and in many cases up to 5 different pumps. Most spas have now pumps 2.3.
Spa pump performs the following functions:
• water is circulated over the heater to heat water
• It circulates the water in the filter in order to maintain clean and safe water
• Provides the functions of hydrotherapy
• Provides fog (if installing a gentleman)
• Ozone is distributed in entire spa water
• It distributes chemicals in the spa water

The pumps, with mechanical parts of equipment, will be repaired more than any other piece of equipment in your spa. Most pump problems and failures are due to the following reasons

1. The Poor water chemistry
Error 2. For early detection of signs that the pump is breaking.

What do I mean by that? Well, in the pump between the end of the 'dry' pump, motor, and the "end wet "the pump, the wet, is a small ceramic seal. That the mark is always in touch. And so it is susceptible to the condition of water.

If the spa water pH is low (below 7.0 pH) of the acid in the water will start to eat on the stamp. And if this situation remains undetected seal a small leak developed. Drain is a drip in the first and most difficult to detect.

Slow but surely you start to see a steady stream of water seems little lower (= have problems).

If you are able to take leakage at this stage, the repair of your spa is likely to consist simply in replacing the seal. It will cost less than $ 200. But if this leak not detected, the most likely reach a situation where the water begins to leak into the engine. The motor then stops working.

The point of this story is, If you see [just a trickle | a bit) of water from underneath you spa. Turn off the spa, turn off the power switch on the spa and Call Spa Repair Company.

2. Empty, clean and refill the spa at least twice twice a year, more frequently depending use
3. Rent a spa service company that come to your house once a year and do a preventive maintenance check. This will cost about $ 100, but it is money well spent.

The warning signs to pay attention to;

2. The sound of the bomb is "fun"
3. Areis The plane of the slow
