Will Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 My neighbor an I opened up the spa and found that the two capacitors on one of the pumps are bad. One was blown up. So I am going to replace them. But as we were in there we saw that there was a layer of water in the bottom of the casing of the spa. The spa is on a concrete foundation and does not leak. (no loss of water level) Is it common for this to occur and will is cause a capacitor to blow up? Tomorrow morning I will vaccum out the water to see if it builds agai, but for now any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad motor? What cause the motor to go bad? Bad pump? I suspect before you are done you will be replacing the pump and motor assembly.
