I would suggest changing your username, but if your in PA, I guess that is acceptable. Our temps for the next few days aren't going to be too bad. You don't tell us, does your tub have one or two pumps? Is the pump that is going bad part of the filter systems (runs specifically automatically to provide filtering. Does it run when the tub is heating? My old tub was this way, I turned down the amount of filtering during the time I was waiting for a pump, to a minimum.
