Title: Pressure switch
Post by: clueless on January 08, 2011, 03:28:40 pm

HElP! My husband is driving me insane! I'm up for saving money by diy but this one little part is making us crazy. We have searched everywhere for info on how to wire the pressure switch for our Morgan Spa hot tub. One wire is violet, the other is violet/black. We can't figure out which wire goes where on the tecmark pressure switch. Any suggestions?

I assume that you are replacing a faulty one, right?  How was the one you removed marked?

PS - Based on what I've seen on my efforts, these simply plug into a circuit board.  Mine also has two wires and with only 2, you basically have a hot (power) and a ground. Mine are red & black so I don't have the same issues that you have.

The pressure switch is just a switch.
The wires can go on either lead as long as you have one on each lead. The switch just completes a connection between the 2 wires when there is enough pressure.

FYI: Red and Black are both HOT colors. Both wires are considered HOT wires.

Good Luck!
