Title: Circulation pump troubles
Post by: Ssgoytil on October 20, 2017, 05:27:50 pm
Hello I have a jacuzzi J320 and I notice after same time like 8 hours or more the circulation pump has stopped. If I push the jet button everything works I tested it and got 240 on both jets and circulation pump. But I push the button off no power to the pumps and I lose heat the circulation pump is for 24/7 circulation and heat. I tried new filters, flow switch’s running out of ideas.

 Hold the plus and minus btn down for 5 to 10 seconds.   The screen will display F1 F2 F3 and so on.   If it's above F3 it's in an economy mode where it will only heat during a filtration cycle..    Worth a try.

Thank you that helped with the heating issue now every time the circulation comes on it pops a fl1 code. I looked at the flow switch when the circulation pump comes on and it trips just before contact after that it heats and is normal but is that normal.

I replaced the flow switch and new filters the circulation flow seems good to the feel and stays in contact with on switch but just takes like 4 seconds  to start up to make contact but still throws fl1 code.

  Unplug the flow switch plug from the circuit board. Wait 5 min then plug it back in.

Has the circ pump ever been replaced? If not they don't last forever and getting 14 years is a good thing. But you may want to replace it.

Some of the circulation pumps take a couple of seconds to get up to speed.  As long as it does come on every time and heats, then it is fine.
