Hello, I am new to the board. I have owned a Master Spas LSI 557 (built in 2005) for almost a year (installed/running since Dec 2011) and it has worked very well, but recently I have noticed something different with the circulation pump. Is there suppose to be hot water streaming from the circulation pump? I ask because I remember putting my feet/hands in front of the circ pump and feeling hot water when I sat in it many times earlier this year. The last few times I have been in the hot tub I have not felt this and the water temp coming from the circ pump seems normal (like lukewarm bath water). The circ pump bubbles and appears to be running 24/7 like it should. I usually leave the tub around 101 and set it for 104 when I get home from work. About four hours later I go out and soak for a few minutes (usually with the jets off) and all seems fine. The temp holds steady and all the jets work fine when I use them (I have air controls on like I always have). Though it seems the circ pump isn't streaming very warm/hot water and after awhile the tub just doesn't "feel" hot even though the read-out is showing a temp close to my desired setting. I even have a floating thermometer that reads close to the same. Is this a symptom of a possible heating problem or is it all just in my head?
Thanks for any insight.
