  1. It was really easy as roger said. I however I seperated the pump and the motor initially and took the pump apart. I was hoping I could salvage the motor but it was already ruined. The impeller was pretty dificult to remove but I was able to use a couple of oil filter wrenches to remove it at the end. Even so, with the motor bad I just bought a whole new motor/pump unit and put it in. The new motor does not come with a new power cord so make sure you keep the old one and take a photo of the wiring order on the motor and on the balboa panel. All in all, less than an hour job to remove the old and replace with the new without tinkering around with the old one like I did. In regards to your other questions access is wide open but you might need a wobble extension to be able to get the nuts that hold the motor down off. The fittings were exactly the same since I used the exact same pump/motor assembly. Thanks Roger. I will remove the fittings and do that.
  2. back up and running. new motor is really quiet. Not a bad bill for a new pump/motor bill.
  3. yeah in 2009 the warranty was only 2 years on pumps and leakage. Thank you for the suggestion though. Found a pump/motor replacement for 227 plus tax at pss. Better than dealing with pulling the tub out and dragging it back to Costco.
  4. Looks like the pump is actually ok other than the shaft seal. Unfortunately it ran so long with the seal leaking that the water got into the motor and probably ruined the bearings. Might end up replacing the whole pump/motor unit for about 260.00 The motor is more by itself...go figure. If anyone knows if there is a rebuild kit for the motor in this url I'd appreciate the info.

  5. Hey everyone. I am sad to report that my spa developed a leak when I was on vacation and the water was below the filter line when I doscovered it maybe ruining the pump/motor in the process. I will be looking to see if I can find the leak tomorrow and how to fix it. Can any experts chime in on the pump/motor and tell me if its serviceable? It currently makes a high pitch noise similar to a jet engine when running Forgot to mention that I own the Strong Csxi80 also. Hope i'm not hijacking the thread DK 117 Looks like the front seal on my primary pump was leaking. I called the manufacturer of the pump and they told me to call tomorrow to speak to a tech. Hopefully he can guide me in what parts other than the gasket to replace to get rid of the noise.
  6. Well I wish I could say the same. I went on vacation 2 weeks ago and when I was gone the spa developed a leak and the primary pump was running on air for who knows how long. Pump makes a high pitched noise now whenever it runs. Called strong and they said the spa was out of warranty and referred me to a couple of repair shops. Going to look into the leak tomorrow and see if I can tell where it's coming from. Not sure about the pump though. Any ideas?
