Hey guys,
I recently bought a 2006 Viking Heritage 2 Hot tub that needs a lot of work. I'm in the process of removing all of the insulation due to multiple leaks and both motors are shot.
The current system is a 2 pump setup: (1) PF-50-1N22C and (1) PF-50-2N22C - No circulation pump, no blower.
I plan on replacing all of the guts so while I'm fixing the hot tub so I'd like to update the controller with a digital controller as well as the addition of a circulation pump - being that the original system didnt have a circulation pump, does that change the need for motor types for the jets?
I'd also like to understand more about the old two speed motors that were on the unit - Are 2 speed motors simply 2 speeds so they can circulate water for heating cycles and cleaning cycles on one speed and then jets on the second speed? or are they two speeds for "pressure" at the jets? I'm imagining its both, where one of my motors did circulation and jets, and the other was simply two speeds, (I'm assuming because they're two different serials, but thats just a guess).
That said, do I need two speed pumps if I'm adding a circulation pump?
Sorry if this is mind numbing questions, but I'm hoping to build something that will last a good 5-10 years with good function and efficiency.
Thanks for your help in
