Leaking Pump:
Be sure to first identify where the pump is leaking from...
- If it is leaking where the plumbing meets the pump they would need to replace the O-ring.
- If it is leaking by one of the freeze plugs they need to replace the freeze plug.
- If the face of the pump or the shaft of the pump is leaking they need to replace the pump.

Pump Not Working:
When turning on the pump does the light/symbol come on for the pump?
-OR-Do you hear a click in the control board area?
• If this is happening, in most cases this would indicate a fuse on your circuit board is blown. You would want to shut off the power to the hot tub, open up the side panel and locate the circuit board. Once you are looking at the circuit board you want to locate all of the fuses (all circuit boards are different and the amount of fuses vary). The easiest way to test a fuse is to use a volt meter and ohm them out. Find the bad fuse and replace.
When turning on the pump does the light/ symbol come on for the pump?
-OR-Do you hear the pump trying to run?
- In this case the pump could be air locked.
- You may also want to check to make sure that they circuit board is sending the correct power to the pump. Sometimes a relay can get stuck and cause power issues.
