Swap the red and black leads which go to the jet pump. Then power up the spa, and let it go through it's start-up procedure. If the high speed pump comes on, then you know the control board is fine, and you have a bad motor (or the connections inside the motor may be wrong or loose).  You can't run it for very long with these leads swapped because it will kick in the heater, and with the heater and the high speed pump running at the same time, it should trip a 15A breaker almost instantly, and a 20A breaker in a few minutes. Of course, if you turn it to high speed ('jets') and the low speed still doesn't run, then the problem is with the motor (motor itself or connections inside of it).

So basically this blew my board??  Do you have any further advice to get this thing back online at least? It ran and pumped prior to me "trying" this!

Chas:
No, if you switched the red and black wires which go to the pump, all you would do is get high speed when you need low speed and vice versa. It would not "blow the board." If you switched some other wires...

Call a pro.

And check for fuses on the board.
