Welcome to our forum.
I have a 2001 Sundance Altamar 850 series and there is no 240 V power to the circulation pump. I checked at the circuit board's black and white motor supply terminals. I am assuming that without the circulation pump, the flow switch will not operate and I get FLOW (sometimes FLOW 2) error. The circulation pump is not very old. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you both, Conine and Tman. Correct, there is no power at the terminals where the Black and White wires go from the Circulation pump.

Correct, there is no power at the terminals where the Black and White wires go from the Circulation pump.Have you confirmed you have 220v coming into the board via the main lines? If so, confirm the spa is calling for heat turn temp to 104 and confirm it's not in some kind of economy mode, then the board should be sending 220 to the circ pump. If not, than it is most likely a bad board, if the topside is not lit up/main pumps not running there is a chance it's a blown fuse. To confirm the circ pump is good, shut the spa off and hook the 2 leads from the circ pump to the two two 110v legs of the terminal block, there are little spade connecters you can use. turn breaker back on. If it runs the heat should come on because the system thinks it's good to go. Hopefully that makes sense? There is a couple other things that may be at fault, but doubtful. Tman thoughts?
Thank you Jim. When I mentioned in my post that I have FLOW error, I assumed that the error indicator will come on ONLY when there is power to the board. I will try connecting the pump as you suggest and will let you know. Thank you again.So, is it unsafe by any means if one connects the Circ pump directly to mains all the time?

Thank you again.So, is it unsafe by any means if one connects the Circ pump directly to mains all the time?It's not necessarily unsafe to hook it up direct but you loose all of the programming functions Jim had mentioned.So no blockage on the pump. 220v power going into the board on the main. The next check would be topside control. But this is not easily done without several extra topsides just for this purpose. If that's not it then board.Did you say the topside is not functioning at all?
