  1. I bought to new valves today and now I have nice bubbles as never before all the time!! Thank´s James!!
  2. Sundance Cameo 2005 or 2006 not quite sure about the year, I had a closer look at the valves yesterday and when I tryed to blow thrugh the it was impossible, should´nt that work in one direction?
  3. I had just about the same problem, and I cleaned my line after that I get bubbles sometimes but not all the time, so I wonder is it supposed to come bobbles all the time or just when the ozonator is working?
  4. Thank for your excelent description of this motor, now things get more and more clear for me, regarding the heat on the motor I can hold my hand on it for quite a while I guess its like 55-60 degrees celsius hot (130-140 degrees F) witch I thought was to hot. I had the motor at a motor company and they had a quick look at it and mesured the cap and said that it was broken, but they didnt bech tested it, hopefully the cap that i bought from them was a better one then the original. I was thinking about one thing, is it a good idea to amp measure the motor in when its in service, to find out how much power its consuming and compare that with the specification of the pump?
  5. But could the motors behavior really have impact on the capacitor? As I understand it the capicator on a one phase motor has two tasks to take care of, the first is to provide extra power to the motor at startup and the second is to dislocate the phase to "fool" the the motor that there is 3 phases, the only way I see that the motor could damage the cap is if it gets extremly hot and in that way "blows" it, or am I wrong??
  6. Good news! The pump has been running perfectly normal in 4 days now, and i spooke to the a swedish dealer who said that it is normal that the circ pump gets pretty hot, so I guess I´ve solved it! Thank for all advice!
  7. Today i installed a new cap on the motor and i got it running, but I still have a bad feeling that it will stop soon.... After about 2 hour running it got pretty hot, but still working good, I guess I hav to see if its working tomorow. I was thinking about 2 things maybe you guys could help me with, should the circ pump run all the time 24/7 under normal conditions or does it stop some times?? and how hot is the circ motor suposed to get? should it not be hot at all or what? I also sent geckoalliance an mail to se what they think about possible warranty
  8. Thank for your tip ps558! But what seal do you mean? and another intresting thing is the warranty my spa is 2 and a half year old and sundance gives 2 year warranty so it wont cover my pump, but if I buy a new pump I gets 5 year warranty?? how come i dont have that warranty on the orginal pump? or have I ??
  9. Some new info: I have now removed the pump from the spa and now when I try to start it dry in my garage it just gives this "hmmm..." sound and wont start, but if I gives it a little help by pushing on the shaft it starts running, but I think it runs pretty slow, does this give anyone a clue???
  10. what year and what model sundance spa do you have? Hi! I think its an Sundance Cameo from 2006 or 2005 (it came with the house) the pump is an Flomaster XP2 with an Emerson motor labeld "model K55mykhf-9557". Thankful for any help!
  11. Hi! I have a sundance spa with a Flomaster xp2 circulation pump, my problem is that the motor gets very hot and stops after a while, I have removed the pump from the spa and runed it in my garage and then it seems to work good, but when i remount it into the spa somtimes it just sounds "hmmmmm..." and wont start and if I in this position helps the motor by pulling the shaft it starts but gets very hot after a while. I have checked the volute and it runs very smoth so it cant be any problem there (i guess). Could it be the capicator om the motor? Hope you could understand my english (im from sweden....)
