    WhT damage can high alkalinity do to spa motors?

    i think I starved them of water. The water level was low, this was a week or 2 before they failed. They made a slightly funny noise after that. I assumed since they ran after the low water incident they would be ok. I would have expected them to fail immediately.

    WhT damage can high alkalinity do to spa motors?

    Thank you, I didn’t think so , the spa companies are always trying to sell their own chems, which was why I was skeptical, also the fact that it was 2 pumps at the same time.

    My spa mechanic said my 2 pumps stopped working from high alkalinity. He pointed to white powder on motor as evidence. I do the chems myself and when the alkalinity gets high 200 I change the water. I use chl tabs and add soda ash to keep it from getting acidic.
