giarcmo

I tried taking out my cartridge filter and it broke off at the base . The male threaded part is now stuck in the female threaded part of the housing of the tub and when i tried to loosen it the whole female part started to move . I am at a loss as to what to do any advice would be appreciated !

Yes the pump came with the cord attached and it is the same voltage . I know I cant think of anything . all the other jets work fine its just when the tub goes to prime and the new pump tries to kick in and it throws the breaker .

I did try that and unfortunately it still trips Does it only trip when the new pump is pluged in/wired? Yes with the new pump unplugged it doesn't trip the breaker

I did try that and unfortunately it still trips

Well its been a while but here is an update on my situation : I ordered a new pump as Dusty Bill did and installed . As soon as the tub went through its preliminary tests and the circulation pump should kick in it trips the breaker . Now I am stumped I thought it might be a bad pump so I exchanged it for a new one and the same thing happens . Any ideas ?

email sent thank you

Well Bill we seem to have the same problem I sure would like to know how you make out .

Well that didn't work ... I replaced the fuse and switched the ciculation mode swith (A9) off then on again now it shows code SnS . Any thoughts ?

I just checked the same fuse , it doesn't look right ( the glass is clouded so you can't see the element inside ) Could this be the problem ? It looks like I have the same board as you do Bill. On my way to the hardware store also I'll post results later

ok thanks

Yes my spa does have a Balboa system. I took the head of the circulation pump apart and found no debris and it seems to be spinning fine . So much for an easy fix . Is there anything else you think I could check ? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

thanks I will take a look at the pump tomorrow if I can find it . My spa is sunken into my deck so it will take a bit to get to it . I had some filter issues in the past so hopefully that will be the problem thanks again I'll let you know how i make out.

I'm guessing yes as the heater always went off when the jets were running

i am not sure is there a way i could check for these ?

yes the pumps come on and move water just fine

I have a down east spa that has stopped heating. I thought this was due to a flow problem so I replaced the filter, drained the water and figured I'd start from scatch. When starting up the spa it goes through its start up functions and when it gets to the Pr function nothing happens. then the heat light comes on for about 30 seconds goes off and the dr code comes up. I took the filter out and tried again and the same thing happened . I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem before I call a tech .This is the windsor model. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
