quarry Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi wonder if anyone can help me, I have a hotsprings jetsetter and I cannot get the pump that operates the jets to work. A bit of history if it helps, The tub was working fine and I moved house taking the tub with me, however there was nowhere for the tub so I stayed in the bdrive unused for 18 months, I have now moved again connected it all up and the jets don't work, the circulation pump works as there is the trail of small bubbles from the floor. I have tried to see if there is any air in the lines but still the pump doesn't work. I tried the bleed screw on the pump and the pipe unions on top and end of the pump. When I select the jets there is a click and a low hum as if the pump wants to go but nothing. I have put a hose down the filter pipe, and I forced water through the jets at the end where the pump is (some air bubbles did come back out the other jet when I did this if that means anything) Any help much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Sounds like the jet pump shaft is not turning. The Jetsetter almost never develops an air lock, they virtually always prime when you fill them. My opinion: The pump either needs to be repaired or replaced.

quarry Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks for the replies, not the answer I'd hoped lol, it does sound like the pump wants to turn but then nothing, is there an easy fix for it (apart from replacing it) is there something I can do myself (limited knowledge ) Thanks for the offer Brian VT but unfortunately I'm not near you, I live in Cyprus in the Mediterranean.

quarry Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi Just a quickie, but someone has mentioned that there is a condenser or capacitor on top of the pump that could cause my problem, anyone had any dealings with something like that? and if so how do i access it and change it? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
