Thank you John for your reply. Unfortunately, as much as I appreciate the criticism, I don't notice any sort of helpful advice in your post. Would you recommend that I find pumps that draw lower amperage? Or perhaps re-plumb the tub for use with only one main two-speed pump? Perhaps the lower amperage pump that I was going to use as the second? Maybe you meant to say "you have the wrong pack FOR the equipment"? It can't be both, or they wouldn't exist. Also, when you say that I will burn up the pack... What exactly will burn? The fuses for either the pump or the blower? Or the board itself? Your statements, while both strong and dramatic, don't provide me with much useful information....

Hello forum! I recently decided taking on the project of building myself a hot tub from free new/used parts on craigslist. I have ended up with an old Clearwater tub plumbed for 2 pumps. I installed a Spabuilders Gecko S-Class spa pack (sc-cf-p122-b2-o2-cp1-ls-hp-u-amp-ne-ap2) and set it up for all 120v, per the label instructions on the inside of the lid. I then wired the two pumps that I have to 115v and plumbed/wired everything together (I hope I'm using proper terminology) I am at the point where I would like to fill and plug the tub in....but am unsure about the electricity source. On most Gecko S-Class packs I see, the sticker rates 120v 15amp and 240v 40+amps. The sticker on my pack however only shows 240v 38amps...despite being convertible. My setup is as follows.... 1 two-speed main pump that reads 230/115v 6.0/16.0amps and a second two-speed pump that reads 115v 11.0/2.9amps as well as an ozone pulling...whatever amperage that a Balboa O3 pulls ;-) The spa pack has no labeled or implied option for a second pump and I was hoping to just attach the second pump to the blower output in the hopes that the pack will at least run it at a single speed. My questions are.....Is this possible? Or will this pump draw too much for the blower output on this pack? Can I replace the blower fuse on the pack with a larger one to accommodate the pump in this position? What sort of amperage should I anticipate this setup pulling? I was hoping to run it on a 20amp outlet.... Thank you for reading and I look forward to your responses. If I can provide ANY further helpful information, please ask.
