Title: How to test pumps (for Jaimie E)
Post by: ndabunka on November 06, 2009, 06:08:19 pm

Someone from another forum was asking about ways to test a pump motor to verify it is functional.  I told him that I wasn't a tech and pointed them to this forum.   They have a used tub and don't know if it is functional but wanted to understand if there was a way to test before dumping the $400-$700 into the 220volt wiring they would need to support it...
