I inquired and the local pool & spa business in town said I needn't worry about that diverter, to simply leave it in place, and to drain from the pump end, and there should be no problem. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed at this point! I will simply vacuum and blow air everywhere I...

Here are a few pix - the polyurethane insulation makes it a bit hard to see where the lines are going. But, that's what it looks like underneath. The diverter I'm having trouble with is the one on the left. Thanks in advance!

Hello fellow TFPers! It's great to be back to a site I haven't visited in ages. I am winterizig a Jacuzzi J480 - winters are way to cold up here near Montreal, Canada. I emptied the spa, and was able to remove all but ONE diverter. All the lines have been blown dry, except for this one...

A contractor doing work in our yard recently accidentally damaged the power chord going to the spa. We changed the power chord and subsequently I replaced a fuse, but the circulation pump didn't work. I jumped it, meaning I bypassed the electro-mechanical relay, and the pump does work now...

Problem solved! A very large fuse (barely visible, yellow tags, bottom left in previous post) had gone bad. I replaced it, and voilà! spa is now running ... Nearly :confused: Every thing works, the display panel, lights, jet pumps, ... only the circulation pump isn't working. I measured...

Thank-you Jim for your quick response. It's raining cats & dogs today in Montreal - I'll only be able to check voltages between TP401 & TP404 tomorrow. I also need to replace a fuse that was damaged when trying to see if it was still intact (red circle in pic below). Ron Montreal

Folks, I fear the worst. To make a long story short, in the course of routine yard work, the power cable to the spa (240V, 3 lead) got damaged. The GFCI tripped, and the control panel was blank. I switched power to that circuit off from the home circuit breaker panel. Prior to replacing the...

Oh, good news, it's neither the board, nor the pump. It has to do with a "summer logic" consideration. My water is at 95°F and set temperatures is at 90°F (we're not using the spa for a few days). Voilà, circulation pump won't trigger under those conditions. It really helps to read the book...

Thank you Jim. I had forgotten to mention, indeed I am running in standard mode. Let's see what the voltage at the pump reads when it turns off! Thanks for the insight! Ron

Hello group, The circulation pump had been running fine, according to scheduled parameters (starting at midnight, running for 12 hours, per mfg suggestions). A couple of days ago, I noticed it was not running in the morning hours, at it is supposed to, till noon, that is. When I manually...
