BASIC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Other points to keep in mind:
The pump/motor assembly does not require maintenance. However, the tub and pump should be checked
•
semi-annually for leakage of any kind.
•
The electric motor uses sealed grease bearings, which do not require additional lubrication. The pump
•
should not be run dry (without water). If this occurs, check the pump for leaks. Under normal conditions the
bath water will lubricate and cool the seal assembly while running.
If the whirlpool tub or spa will be stored during freezing weather, it is suggested that the tub or spa (jets,
•
piping and pump) be completely free of water to avoid damage from freezing.
We
•
DO NOT
recommend using sudsing oil or bubble bath during a whirlpool session. The agitation will
create an overflow of bubbles.
Follow tub or spa manufacturer’s recommendation for periodic cleaning of the whirlpool tub or spa and
•
system.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CHECK
PUMP DOES NOT RUN
NO POWER TO PUMP
-Incoming power to the pump.
-Is circuit breaker on?
-Is GFCI operating properly?
-Is pump plugged in?
AIRSWITCH
-Is the airswitch hose connected to the
pump?
DISCONNECTED
- Is the airswitch hose connected to
the actuator button on the tub deck?
PUMP NOT PUMPING
PROPERLY
BLOCKAGE OR LEAK
- Jets should be pointed away from
the suction inlet so air is not forced
into pump suction
- Is the in-tub suction inlet blocked or
covered?
- Is there any debris in the pump
housing?
- Is there a leak in the piping or the
pump?
- Is there pipe glue in the pump end?
LOW VOLTAGE
- Is the proper voltage applied to the
pump?
- Is there an extension cord being
used?
