Agent Jones Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hello new guy here. Found this forum by a google search. I have been here lurking, reading, and getting information the past 2 months or so while i was searching for my hot tub. So thanks for all the info so far. Really great site! Any who i finally bought a hot tub two days ago and everything works perfect except for the blower. It has been disconnected. When ever you connect the blower to the control box the hot tub won't come on. nothing works. as soon as its disconnected and re-trip the breaker everything works fine. any ideas? the tub is a morgan spa with 2 pumps and one blower. i can take pics if that would help. Thanks -ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermasterpig Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I take it the hot tub is used? If it is new contact the dealer, it sounds like the blower is bad and causing a short in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermasterpig Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I bought a used hot tub it didn't work after I got it over to my house *there is a post about the adventure somewhere* After getting on here and asking everyone it turned out to be a bad blower. I am not sure what was bad on it but it would cause it to trip. They are about 100 bucks online if you want to replace it. I have yet to replace mine but very well may.

Agent Jones Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 also how hard are they to install? can i do it myself or need to hire someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermasterpig Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I guess it depends on your blower. I found my exact model on ebay for $100. It should be real easy to install. Take out the bolts holding it to the hot tub frame, unplug the power cord from the board. Put new one in bolt it down, plug it in and you should be set. That was what I was told on here when I was looking for one at least. There should be a big pipe that you have to twist out or some are screwed into the blower. that's the pipe that the air goes into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Jones Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 thanks..thats how easy it looks just wanted to make sure there wasn't some trick to it or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1oty Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 You'll need the correct voltage, amperage and plumbing size. Blowers also come in vertical and horizontal orientations. Do NOT glue the new blower in, unless you want to risk a fire or explosion. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
