Hi Bud,Thanks for the reply. I had the same thought about the two speeds. I wired it like it was wired before (connecting red white and black) and it blew my main circuit breaker immediately.It did run at two speeds before - controlled by the controller panel.
I got it!I had wired the new pump the same as the old, which seemed like an obvious move. The old wiring had the white at the top, black in the center and red at the bottom. Upon re-examination, I noticed that the new pump wants the common in the center, so it's black, white, red at the bottom. Thankfully, I was able to reach the pump wiring without moving the hot tub out from the wall and taking the motor out, and swapped the black and the white wiring and gave it a try.So far so good. Circuit breaker did not blow, pump worked spitting out the little water there was in the line. I immediately shut it off and now have to wait for the hose to thaw in order to refill.Thanks again.
