  1. My wiring ended up being backwards in the control box. Fixed the wiring and had to replace the motor.
  2. The sound starts/stops with pump 2 being turned on and off. I made sure there is nothing touching the motor/wet end and even took it out of the mount to isolate that.
  3. Hey Everyone, Approximately two months ago I replaced both pumps in my spa. One began to make a loud "ringing" sound which sounds like an old school fire alarm. After some digging online, I found that I could be due to incorrect wiring, however it seems to follow the diagram. The ringing did not happen when the pump was installed, and I just noticed it when I had the skirt off to replace some rotten plywood backing. Here is a video showing both the sound and the wiring along with the diagram. Any ideas would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
  4. Thanks so much for the help! Both bumps are now replaced, running well, and leak free. If anyone has the same issues in the future: 1) I broke the old nipples trying to remove them from the pump. If you purchase new ones for the waterway pumps make sure it has an o-ring . 2) Thanks! I was able to move the grounding lug just enough to get the old ground to reach. 3) They were gaskets with embedded o-rings. No matter what I tried, I was unable to get the flat gaskets to work without leaking. I was able to find the embedded o-ring gaskets locally and now have no issues! On a side note, getting this tub back up and running has made me appreciate build quality much more. I found the ozonator was not wired, there was insulation in the diverter valves, and the pump mounts were poorly secured to the frame. While removing the skirt, I noted the 1/4 indoor grade plywood was rotting and the synthetic "durable" siding was stapled onto this plywood. Most of the siding panels fell off the plywood, so the next project is rebuilding the skirt to make the tub look decent. Anyone have recommendations on a synthetic material to back the skirt, or would painting it without outdoor paint be an easier way to go?
  5. Hello everyone, I own an 8 year old Dynasty Liberty II spa which has 2 5hp waterway pumps. One pump failed, and the other started to rust badly due to a leak, so I'm replacing both. Of course I thought this would be a relatively simple operation, but I have encountered the following problems: 1) The front cover of the old wet end has two nipples which had hoses attached to them, the new pump only has a cover which can be removed to place the nipples, what is this part called? 2) The new motor has a ground in a different location, too far away for the wiring harness to reach. Can you couple the ground lead to another to lengthen it? 3) I purchased new seals to go between the plumbing and the wet end. The new ones are flat, whereas the old ones had grooves to go into the plumbing side. Once I opened the shutoff valves with the new seals, the connection was leaking badly, so I assume I need the other style. Does anyone know the part number or what this style is called? Thank you in advance!
