Jay nazz Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I plugged my hot tub in and water came out of the motor. I had somebody come over and they ran the motor with the water just above the base of the hot tub and well below the Jets. They said the motor kept going out which might indicate it’s more than the seal and possibly just get a new motor. I’m curious if any damage was done if the hot tub was ran with the water below the Jets. Does anybody recommend getting a new seal first or just replacing the whole motor?

Cusser Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Are you confusing the electric motor and the pump head, which can be obtained separately? The pump head seal MIGHT be bad, or might be OK. Jet level is not important to your situation but the height of the water intake might be.

imlost Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Typically, the intake is through the skimmer, so just about any water level above that height is going to be OK, and not starving your pump(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
