Holdy Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Hi, So I've been reading on here how to fix my spa. Pump 1 wasn't working and I was getting a FLO error message. I checked the intake and the reset the hot tub didn't work. I checked and pump 1 wasn't even making any noise when I tried to turn it on, so I thought fuse. When I was going to take the fuse out for pump 1 I accidentally shorted the fuse with my pliers, there was a large spark. (I had forgotten to flip the breaker, I know rookie mistake) I replaced the fuse and turned the hot tub back on but there was nothing. No power, no controls, pump 2 didn't work which it did before. Can anyone tell me what shorting the pump 1 fuse would've done? I thought maybe it blew a different fuse but I couldn't find anything else that was blown. I have a M class spa system circuit with 2 pumps - 2005 Arctic Yukon. See picture below, I will highlight the fuse that I shorted. I have a multimeter and I could work forward to see where the power stops but I'm not sure where to start. thank you for any help.

Holdy Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 Ok so it turns out shorting the pump 1 fuse simply tripped the breaker in my basement and not the breaker in my garage. Anyway, pump 1 wasn't working still so I started to adjust the pressure switch on the heater, I turned the dial counter clockwise till I heard a click, the pump then turned one with a very slow flow and the hot tub started to heat up. I still couldn't get the pump to turn into it's high gear. There was quit a bit if corrosion on the heater just underneath the pressure switch. The pump model is NEW41. Any ideas? Quote
Dufferdan Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 My Arctic Spa Yukon had the same issue. Kept getting a FLO warning and pump 1 would only come on in low mode. My seller came up and basically by passed the fuse. It is a common issue apparently and this is their solution. I am not a fan, but it has worked perfectly ever since. Quote
Holdy Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Posted August 5, 2015 Did they bypass the fuse on the spa pack? or did they bypass something on the pump itself? Quote
