Jacuzzi JT365 Curc Pump goes again they say it gets clogged

<< < (3/6) > >>

Spinner71:
Hello All,

thanks to everyone who reponded..
The service tech just came by and he is saying the my pipes are causing the pump to get clogged producing the FL1 error and shutting down my heater. I dont understand  considering I have used everything the store told me to use over the years. My water is not hard... Does any body know how to clean the pipes any better. I have changed my water 3 times in 2 months

Cheers
Jason

Perhaps.  Your water chemistry info, would be needed.

IF it is your pipes, it IS a KINK, calcium is NOT an option that is going to do this to 5 out of 6 circ pumps which could be easily demonstrated to you by simply opening the pump up to examine the internal part.  Either they don't know, or understand the logic of what they are doing, or you should call Sundance Customer Service for a "resolution", after all it IS their product and their warranty. 

You have not indicated any response to my previous posting.  Have you investigated anything about this issue yourself, or are you totally dependent upon them to find the solution?  How old is your spa?

Also see my post to same problem in a similar problem.  This is the SIMPLE logic of water flow.  NO water flow to "close" the switch, you have a "Flo" issue.  I don't understand how they can say it is something else, "your pipes" without fixing the root cause of the problem and providing sufficient water flow..

So he opened the pump and I can see the substance inside the pump. it's soaked to the walls and he says is calcium.
I will take a picture and send it next week. he says it not teh flow swicth or I would be getting an FL2 error not 1

The flow switch is only the messenger, and yes there are 2 seperate messages that it will trigger, when it dosen't close, and when it dosen't open.  However, it is beyond belief that you can have 5 out of 6 circ pumps disabled by calcium in such a short time frame.  Where do you live, Salt Flats?  I do hope you have addressed the issue of your water chemistry.  What have they suggested you do to clean and clear the other pumps, the plumbing and the heater?  Your shell must be a mess, what is the accumulation in/on the filter?

What they are suggesting is that the calcium is accumulating so fast in the circ pumps as they replace them that it is restricting water flow causing the circ pump to fail, thus causing the "flo" message to occur.  In 28 years this would be the first time I've heard this one.

Best of luck, it seems you have a handle on the problem, it has been resolved, and you have it under control.

BTW, do you use, or have you used any "BaquaSpa" products, and/or do you have an ozonator on your system??
