[SIZE=medium]I know this isn’t boat related but the faster I can get this tub fixed the faster I can get back to having a happy wife. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Issue- Circulation pump will not run on our 2009 Master Spa LSX1000. Without this running there is no flow through the heater, thus it overheats and shuts off rendering the whole tub useless. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]I have checked everything that I can think of and am still left scratching my head. The pump requires 230v 4A but only has three wires running to it. Looking at the circuit board and some limited information from a dealer they are two 110 lines(120something using a volt meter) at the plug feeding the pump. The black shows 120 v, the white wire shows 120v and there is a ground. This is how all of the pumps are wired. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Here is the series of tests I have done. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]I am really at a loss here. If there is power at the plug why won’t the circulation pump run, or another pump that I know is working run on that circuit? If the pump is bad, another pump should work on that circuit, if the circuit is bad then the pump should work on the other circuit. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]All the local spa places want to just set up a service call so I can spend $160 for an hours’ worth of time checking what I already know. I’ve also read horror stories of tech’s just rambling off parts, people spending thousands of dollars and still not have a working tub. A new panel is $850 and I’d really be in hot water if I ordered that and it did not solve the issue. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]I’ve checked all the hot tub forums I can find and people with similar issues never posted up a resolution on the problem. Very frustrating. [/SIZE]

- [SIZE=medium]Verified power to the tub- Check[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Fuses- Check[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Ordered a new circulation pump and plugged it in-still didn't work –sent it back[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Unplugged similar size/load pump that works in the tub and plugged into the circulation plug, the pump would no longer work, [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Plugged old circulation pump into the working circuit for another pump and the pump does not turn on. [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]There is no blockage anywhere[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]New filters[/SIZE]
