Title: J480 Question
Post by: gazruss on November 07, 2013, 10:09:07 am

I was in the tub last night, and while checking that all the jets were open in the footwell i noticed that 1 of the 4 suction covers had no "suction" the other 3 were working fine, you could feel a real strong pull, but the one shown highlighted was doing nothing, is this normal?

New to this hot tub stuff, and was just wondering.... other than that we love the J-480.

 It is probably the by-pass from the circ pump.   If the filter is severely clogged, or something is stopping flow it would by-pass to that suction.

Thanks for your reply, been away so didn't get back sooner. I think your spot on with your comment. I got an e-mail from my dealer while i was away with the same response...

Again thanks for your help

I just checked my 2013 J480 and that spot didn't suck in water either.  If the jets are all working and no errors on the J1000, just enjoy the tub.
