Jacuzzi Heat Motor going bad?

(1/3) > >>

Shanezam203:
I have a Jacuzzi j 345 and I can now HEAR a pump making noise, I turn the temp down some and it goes away...  back UP and it comes back, can my heat pump be going bad?

Interestinly I am losing water also, last few nights I have been down a significant amount.  any connection, what is the fix?

Thank you,
Shane

hottubdan:
Probably no connection.  Heat pump could be going bad.  If it doesn't bug you though, you could ignore it until it stops.

For the loss of water, I would look in equipment compartment and see if you can see where it is leaking.  Do you have ozone?  Could be an ozone check valve.

yacuzzi Jim:
 With the amount of calcium build up you had in your spa it's not surprising your pump is making noise and may fail or you might get lucky?  As for losing the water my guess is when you shut the circ pump down by lowering the temp the water is backing up to the check valves and leaking there as Dan suggested.  Open the front and take a look, you might have to replace the check valves and the vinyl tubing that runs to the ozonator.

Shanezam203:
Thanks I will take a look. 

What is a ballpark price for a replacement Heat pump?   8)

RUBADUBDUB:
J345 uses a Laing Circ pump right? If so The price isn't bad... A couple hundred bucks. Calcium Kills these pumps fast sometimes.
