Hello, I am attempting to replace my spa heater myself. I've done research and watched a lot of videos. The new heater came with cables that go from the element to the circuit board and says to replace the copper straps. There is one blue wire and one black wire. It doesn't say which goes...

Thanks everyone, no idea how long it's been like this. My spa is like 7-8 years old, sounds like my ozonator might not even work anymore. How do I tell if works?

I noticed this when i was working on my hot tub. I assume this is the hose going to the ozonator (which is in the background of the picture). Looks like there is a piece broken off, part of it in each hose. What does this do and what is the name of the replacement part?

That was the problem, I cracked open the unions and heard air escaping and quickly closed when water started to come out. Water is flowing now, thanks all.

No, i thought when I filled it up with water that would just happen. I'm seeing a few videos showing to open the bleeder valve or crack open the unions slightly to let the air escape, guess I will try that next.

So I replaced my pump with a new one, hooked everything back up. When I turn it on, I hear the pump turning on, but no water flows. Any ideas? Airlock? If so, how do I fix?

thank you very much

I'm taking on the task of replacing one of my spa pumps myself. I've ordered the new pump and have a question about the wiring. The old one had the white wire in a different place than the way the new pump came to me. Does it matter? How do I know which wires go where? Any chance the beige...

I will take some pics when i get home from work. I contemplated hard on starting to the take the deck apart. I still might remove a few boards to gain easier access but there is a bigger issue. Problem is one of the main beams runs right against this side of the hot tub and I'd literally have...

I have an artesian spa - tropic seas waikiki 864l. This is a stock photo I found, but wanted to try to show where the leak is. Neither the circ pump or the two pumps I can access from this side are the culprit. If you're looking at the side with all the equipment, it is on the side to the...
