Trying to hookup a new hottub (the wiring is still in place from the old one installed 30+yrs ago) it has two breakers in the outside panel and more than the four wires that you are showing with different colored wires so I'm going to get some more knowledgeable help so I don't Farble anything up. Both the old and new hottubs are 220v.

Have a jucuzzi j385 if the FL2 is showing will the circulation pump not run? Wondering if it’s the circulation pump or flow sensor

Are all 110v plug and play hot tubs convertible to 220/240? I recently purchased a aquarest AR 150, which currently has a 110 GFCI. However, my house is set up for 220 from my previous tub.

No they are not.. What you are going to do is find the spa pack and with the hot tub unplugged take the cover off the spa pack and on the underside of the cover it will have a diagram of the wiring and from there you should be able to figure out if it is convertible or not Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING

I have 2006 jacuzzi j335 2006. Where do i get parts to replace flow switch, heat sensor and circulation pump? We just purchased . It was supposed to be in good working order. It was not. When we filled it up all pumps worked but it was leaking from the tube coming out of the black box hooked behind the pack. We fixed that then got error code. The black box is the heater?

Hi Scott. Got a bullfrog spa that sat for quite some time. Had a repairman come out and he said bad pump/crack from freezing. We replaced pump, and cover. Now the tub is leaking and the power is tripping to the tub. He is recommending heater replacement next and no guarantee it fixes it. The power trips to the breaker after about 5-6 days so when he goes to test things he can’t find anything. Have you seen this issue where is trips after 5-7 days and then leaks out. Thanks

We also had breaker replaced he thought that could be it. Filled it back up brand new filters and trips again after 5-6 days and come back and it’s drained out. 1 ft water left

A leak has nothing to do with the breaker tripping. Find and fix the leak first the figure out why the breaker is tripping. There will be signs as to why and what is causing the breaker to trip and you can use process of elimination and figure it out. Its not hard and takes about 30 min maybe.

Just purchased a dealer refurbished j325 with all new internal components but guess where they decided to cut corners..6 of the spinner jets (7 total rotating jets on older j325). Instead of replacing them, because I'm sure the bearings failed, they just yanked the bearings and housing out so it was just plastic flopping around inside the jet. I went down and told them I have 6 bad floppy rotating jets and they said they're supposed to rotate and I said YEAH ON A BEARING LOL. You should've seen the look on their face when I pulled the 1 good rotating jet and 1 bad rotating jet as an example out of my hoody pocket. They said they'd be over to replace them...man, can't even avoid funny business from a local dealer. Wish everyone could be honest like Spa Man!

Great video, thanks. Can you bury the liquid tite conduit and run it up underneath the spa and through the base of the hot tub to just outside the spa pack? Or must you come in through the bottom section of the side panel of the spa (i.e. come in through the side of the spa vs up through the base) and feed the conduit/wire through to the spa pack? Are there knockouts on the side of the spa where you would insert the wire cable conduit for this purpose, or is it "drill your own?" Thanks

You just saved me arse!! Thanks so much. I restarted the tub, cycled the pumps, bled the lines and I don't think I have a bleed valve. Nothing worked. I'm also in Canada so I was very worried about freezing. Then came your plunger idea!!!! It's first if there's a next time.

why are you replacing all these valves? I mean aren't they serviceable like a new stem/plunger or o'rings. That's where I'm at on my tuff-spa the 2" orings are shot so I'm hoping to replace those and put it back together. Is there something I don't know. Not a pro here. Thx
@spaman5440
@spaman5440 Ай бұрын
All of the valves Ive had to replace are junk in one way or another. They leak or will not turn and most often you can not take the valve out because it is no longer round and is stuck. When they are no longer round you can not screw the cap on and when you can screw it on the water pressure blows it off and if you are not aware of it will empty the tub really fast. Sometimes you get lucky and you can just replace seals with no problems Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING

I personally check everything really close when I see phase tape.

Hi Scott, I have a Jacuzzi bathtub with an air lock. Every time I fill the tub and turn it on the pump starts but no jet flow. I have used a plunger over one of the jets and I am able to get the jets going. is there a way to figure out where the air lock is coming from? I have also tried using some spa stop leak with no luck. Any ideas? I have left the tub full of water for a few days after getting it working and the jets will start up right away. Thanks for any help.

Keep up the good work, your hottub content is priceless and I seek you out over anyone else. Make more repair videos as there is nowhere near enough hot tub repair videos on the web. Considering all the various models its hit and miss. Everyone always seems to be so intimidated about repairing their own tubs. Your light hearted videos remove that intimidation factor.

If by bubbles you’re talking about the ozone unit, normally this unit is made up of a generator (which will be okay) which will have a line of vinyl tubing running off of it which will have a one way check valve with a loop then continues onto a t piece following direction of flow, I’d suggest replacing the tubing check valve and t piece, there’s plenty of videos on this but it’ll likely be one of those parts but I’ve always suggested doing the 3 together so they’re all nice and efficient should give you plenty years more, hope this helps!
