Do the air line and return line have to be a continuous loop?

No they don't - thanks for the comment Matt

Can we just use 1 line for jacuzzi pump and circulation pump for jets?

@Buildahottub Ай бұрын

Yes, that is how a dual speed pump works just one 1 line. If you have 2 pumps on 1 line they can "fight" each other for the flow which is not good and will shorted their lifespan. - hope that helps - Andi

I have an in ground hot tub. When the heater is on it starts banging on and off (the flow and element lights flick on and off). I can’t imagine that is correct so I shut the power off to the heater and left the pump running. However when I turn the blower and jets on the pump stops. Can you help?? I’d love to send a video.

Hi There, yes, that doesnt sound good at all. Could be an electrical supply issue and there is not enough current is my initial thought - but the banging is odd. To have a heater and pump that are bad at the same time is a little strange. Send me over a video and I will take a look for you and see if I can suggest anything - andi {a.t} buildahottub.com

If my dual speed pump is only running on low speed (heat circulation) what are the potential causes?

@Buildahottub Жыл бұрын

Hi Jesse, thanks for the message. Couple of things. 1) pump not wired correctly, you need a 4 core cable for a dual speed pump and there are 4 terminals that all should have wires connected to them. 2) incorrect voltage being supplied (if you are in the US, judging by the flag you are) it should be 230V for a dual speed pump not 115V 3) Jet button broken on your keypad controller and lastly, 4) the spa pack might have lost its configuration - you will need to tell it that you have a dual speed pump, if it thinks it is just a single speed or a circulation pump you would not get the jets - hope that helps - Andi

@@Buildahottub Thanks Andi! Much better information there than anyone I have called out to service it yet. Ill look into the 4 strand wiring, and the spa pack and the spa pack configuration. Those sound like the most likely to me.

@Buildahottub Жыл бұрын

+Jesse Allison my pleasure. Out of all of them, if it was working then stopped, spa pack configuration “loss” is most likely. What spa pack do you have? If it is balboa I have lots of info on my site on configuring them

@jesseallison3533 Жыл бұрын

@Buildahottub it is a balboa! I did watch your video on configuring the spa pack, and will see what I can do. Is there any other content you could point me to?

Hi Andy, any chance of getting your WhatsApp number to share a video of my DIY hot tub and get some advice on how to improve it from you? I want to install a blower on my system and also up the flow to get the jets working at force.
