Also I'm learning as much and as fast as I can. I realize this is a friction motor, the control panel that regulates the heat and jets is gone. Someone hardwired it, so it's always on. I'm hoping I can find replacement parts? At the very least I'll need to install a toggle switch to turn the pump off, but it really defeated the purpose of having a hot tub if overtime I want to use it, I have to wait 12 hours to heat it up.
I also need a cap to control the jets on one side, it's missing.
Also it has a crack inside the compartment where the pump is. I see they repaired it with some putty, but it didn't last of the crack spread. That's the next plan, to repair that with some epoxy. If anyone knows the brand, maybe they can confirm the materials used. It's not Acrylic and I doubt it's even fiberglass, seems more like plastic.
It heated up real good overnight, but it's leaking about an inch of water per 2 hours maybe? Gonna let the kids try it today, then I'm sadly draining it to fix this crack.
