  1. No. Think of it this way, your black is producing 120V and your white wire is producing 120V and together you get 240V. This is when the white wire is hooked in the 240V spade cluster (also know as your red AC, easier to explain on a balboa system as oppose to gecko). There should be extra spades right around where your white wires for your pumps hook on. On a gecko Sspa (the new/used one you installed)four button topside you should press the pump#2 a second time and that should engage the blower, make sure the jumper is in the right spot. think i get what your saying, basicly use the pump #2 to switch the blower, but i dont think my keypad has a second pump button? i think its a tsc-8 ?
  2. im not so much worried about my repairs as much as i just dont want to spray anything id have have to chip away later
  3. i had to cut away a decent amount of foam to replace 2 pvc manifolds and alot of jet tubing, im thinking just stuffing fiberglass insulation around all the repaired plumbing, that way if theres any leaks i can still get at them. anyone have any better ideas?
  4. so your saying pump #2 output might also switch on when the blower is turned on from the keypad, so i could use that to power my blower? ill mess around with my meter when i get home im actually suprised how much air comes out the jets with the blower not even running, must be a good venturi effect
  5. didnt know that, can i continuity test the white wire then and it shouldnt show ground to the motor case anywhere?
  6. i got these pictures, when i get home i can take some of the actual pcb's new used spapack, see only 120v blower pinout spapack that came in my tub, see 120/240 pinouts, 240v is marked the blower- see model number has 240 in it and the diagram from the original spapack was marked 240, so im pretty sure its 240v
  7. i just replaced my gecko spa pack with a used working one with the same model # but differnt "option" numbers, my original spa pack was setup for 240v blower but had pinouts on the diagram for 240 and 120, the replacment spapack i got is setup for a 120v blower only and does not have pinouts on the diagram for 240v. i was going to use the 120v blower output from the spapack to trigger a relay to switch 240v to the blower in my tub, looking at the diagram for the 240v blower confused me though, it only has 3 wires, hot, neutral, and ground. i guess ive never wired anything that was 240v and only had 1 hot wire. can i really just "twist together" two hot wires and make 240v?? i was also wondering if anyone knows, if i can just plug a different smaller style control panel into a same spapack control board? or if i need to swap the eeprom for it to work correctly? my new used spapack came with a larger control panel that doesnt fit the hole already in my tub without cutting.
  8. you could just burn wood or trash to heat your tub lol http://www.instructables.com/id/Wood-Fired-Ocean-Hot-Tub/ http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-a-wood-fired-hot-tub/
  9. i ran three #6 stranded and one #10 solid for ground if that helps/saves some $$ i see alot of #6-3 wire (3x stranded #6 and one #10 solid for ground) bundled that way so dont take my advice but figured it was ok. i already had 240 to my garage for a outlet just put a 125a load center there instead saved me probly 50ft on the wiring run
  10. ive been repairing leaks on a used spa i bought just wondering if there is any tips or tricks or remove the spray on insulation or a chemical that will eat it off without damaging pvc. cleaning off bigger pipes is not bad but these air manifolds? or whatever the things are with a few little tubes going into some kind of verticle pvc chamber is hard to get in all the areas to find the leaks
  11. i dug down only as much as i had to to make it level, then i used playsand and threw 12x12" pavers on top. my project probly cost less then $80 but it doesnt look as nice as yours
  12. ya id dispose of those chemicals and just get some at walmart or wherever, that thing is probly only like 200 gallons so not like its gona need alot. id fire that thing up and use it why not, or because you already have a little area for it get somthing newer judging by the analog controls that thing must be from the mid 90s maybe older? cant read the tags good, looks like the control center is 240v ? if so thats good you already have 240 service out there if you did want to get somthing else
