CanadianSpaTech Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 check and make sure all the jets are open and clear of debris on the inside. Last one I had that was sucking in the inside of the jets were full of pine needles. I removed the jets and ran the spa on high for a couple of cycles to clear the needles from the plumbing lines. Worked for awhile and had to go back again and do it all over. It was sucking the needles in through the round pump returns in the foot well.

cranbiz Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Looking at your picture. Why is the center of the wet end of the pump plumbed to the pipe that appears to be halfway up the tub? That is normally the side that goes to the jets. Without seeing behind the spa pack, etc. It looks like you have the output of the pump plumbed to the drain (that's the section that has the sillcock on it) and your suction side is plumbed to the jets. Rule of thumb, pump suction side (center of a centrifugal pump) goes to the lowest point in the tub, the pump output side to the highest point in the tub and is the fitting on the round exterior housing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
