David Miller Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Recently replaced the pump and heater in this Jacuzzi Echo hot tub. The hot tub ran for a number of hours until reaching about 90 then cut off. After turning it back on, it runs for a short time than cuts off. There is a rattling noise coming from the heater ... could debris have been introduced to the system during the repairs? Could the heating element be damaged? Thanks for any information. 554571082_heaterrunning.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Video no work. If you are hearing a gurgling sound from the heater it is likely the water inside the heater boiling. It would mean that the pump related to heating and filtering is not working properly. It could be a pump issue or a circuit board issue or a sensor issue. Please post photos of the circuit board and the schematic on the inside cover of the pack if there is one. Did you replace a main pump or a circulation pump?

David Miller Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Thanks I noticed the video didn't work; I'll try posting an MP4. I don't think it's a gurgling as much as it is a rattle; perhaps the video will play now. It's interesting that the pump and heater ran for hours till it gets to 90+; at that point the circuit breaker blows. I'm wondering about the possibility of debris in the system; could something be caught in the heater element, and causing it to eventually overheat? How could you check or repair something like that? 758991927_heaterrunning.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Miller Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 So would that cause the hot tub to shut off, after a couple hours of running? And then the circuit breaker won't come back on .... is there a way to get whatever's in there out? Really appreciate the advice ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 You need to verify if the noise is coming from the heater or the pump wet end. If something gets past the filter it will first go through the pump wet end and then into the heater. If it is in the heater you will need to remove the chrome heater tube.
