Author Topic: Pump problem?? (Read 3792 times)

I guess today is my day to post. The #2 pump on my Epic will only operate on high. I've tested several times and it will only come on when I press the button twice. Any ideas?

loose wire?

I guess that could be, but wouldn't the entire pump not work? �I'll have husband check it out tonight. �I've called my dealer, a tech is suppose to call within 48 hours.

Could be the board.

Sounds like you may have lost the low speed, I would suggest having your tech bring a pump with him and if thats the problem it will be a quick fix.

Mendo, Just wondering, if she does need a new pump, will she need to drain the tub? :-/

This doesn't make me feel real comfortable with a spa that I've only had since 9/28/05.

Mendo...either I read it here or somewhere else but that you can tell from the ID# when the tub was actually built. Do you know anything about this?

Cappy, my tub has an inspection date on the top of the control panel, don't know if that will help you at all. I wouldn't panic yet, maybe it is just a loose wire like T-Lady said... I know they can switch one of the pumps out without any problems because there is is shutoff valve. Good luck and keep us posted

it could be a fluke...possibly the ONLY thing wrong with your tub.....don't panic just because you've only had it for 6 months, let the dealer back the warranty, and enjoy!

Anything mechanical can fail, there is not a motor anywhere of any type that is 100% fail proof....look at Nascar and the millions of $'s spent and a simple line can brake and bang there out of the race....It happens what does matter is that your motor is guaranteed for a full 5 years regardless of the tub is in your yard or someone else's should you move it or sell it no excuses no exclusions you will be taken care of.....

Why speculate? Your warranty will cover the fix, I'm sure.
Let the pro diagnose and fix the problem. Shouldn't cost you anything. Be happy you have warranty support availble.
And like Mendo said, any spa can have issues, mine went three years before needing service, but others have issues sooner, some later, some never.

Relax, your baby just had a hiccup, with a little pat on the back she will be fine.

Just take a big ol' hammer out there and whack it a couple of times. You'll feel better and it might solve the problem. That's what I'd do, but I'm not a tech.

Good luck and good whackin'!
