How do you replace a circ pump in a hot tub?

How do you replace a circ pump in a hot tub?

The circ pump is also likely screwed into the base of the equipment bay, remove the screws in the pump base, and set aside to use later on the new pump. Since there commonly are no cut-off valves on either side of a low flow circ pump, if your spa is full of water you will spill some water while installing a new circ pump.

How do you shut off a circ pump?

Shut off the Water: Most circ pumps don’t have isolation valves on either side; slice valves that can be closed to shut off water, although common on jet pumps and on high flow circ pump systems. You can drain the spa to make the repair, if you need to drain anyway, but it’s not necessary.

How long does a spa circ pump last?

Spa circulation pumps are low flow, single speed pumps that run 24 hrs to keep your water filtered and heated. They run all the time, but are low energy use, drawing between 0.5 and 1.5 amps. Running all the time does accelerate wear and tear, and makes the average circ pump lifespan about 7-9 years.

When did the Watkins E5 circulation pump come out?

The E5 was introduced in March of 2008 as the premier upgrade/replacement circulation pump and has had a handful of updated and thoughtful revisions since. The compact size and flexible positioning (can mount vertically on the sidewall of the equipment compartment) has won it favor with Hot Spring dealers worldwide.

Why is the circulating pump not working after changing the tub?

Turning off the pump while you drain and refill the tub may have loosened debris from a deteriorated internal pump part and this may clog the jets. Also look at the leaf trap and water filter at the pump’s intake line to make sure there is nothing clogging them.
