Jgrden Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 What position are the white, red and black wires to be attached to the back of the motor? Please end my confusion. We have a Leisure Bay spa with a Series S2 Board built by Balboa. It allows the spa to be wired 115V yet can be wired as 220V. After removing the motor for cleaning out dead bugs reinstalling it was easy until it was time to wire it. Now I cannot figure out where the black or the red wires go. The phrase that appears Jeffery where is: red is high speed". My motor is connected: 2 is White, 3 is Black and 4 is red. Now two sources say the red should be number 3 and the back number 4. At the present time all the spa produces is low speed. the heater works, pressure switch is new. Spa is hard wired by an electrician for 220V. Another confusion is the black wire that goes to the motor comes off a tab labeled "common Black", is this possible?

Jgrden Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Aha, it looks as though the red and black wires are switched after all. Found a schematic from Balboa showing the wiring configuration leaving the board going ot he pump . Red and black are switched.l If I blow a spa fuse, I may blow my own fuse. Those little bugggers are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
