Hey guys,
I have a Catalina Samoa spa with 2 pumps that are both Executive 56. With a Balboa VS515Z board.
Last season my circulation pump (2 speed) stopped running. The second pump ran no problem. But when I hit the button for the circulation pump, i just hear a click but nothing happens. First I thought it was an air lock, so I released valves. Still nothing. Removed the motor and it looked in bad shape. Wouldnt spin easily.
This season I ordered a new pump. I put it back and wired just like the old one. Same thing, just a click. I troubleshot air lock again. Nothing. I saw there were 2 large 30amp fuses on the board. I figured if this is a bad fuse, if I swap them...the new circulation pump would run and the 2nd pump wont. Well after the swap, both pumps didnt start. So I swapped them back...still both pumps wont start. Something killed the fuses?
I went and bought 2 new fuses. Replaced. Now Im back to the circulation pump not running and 2nd pump running fine.
So, im lost. Is it a bad relay? Im not an expert with a volt meter but I can follow directions if there is something I should be checking.
Any help is appreciated!
