Title: not sure what todo
Post by: steeler4life on November 20, 2013, 01:53:43 am
My pump is going bad and I'm not sure what to do. I ordered a new one but it won't be here for 4 or 5 days. I live in pa the day time temps are fine but I'm worried about night its dropping into the 20's. The pump is still kind of working but really loud. Last night with no pumps on the water dropped to 87. My plan is run to pump during the day turn off at night because it being so loud and trying to keep it working until the newone comes. Should I drain it or just keep it filled I know the water in the tub is fine but not sure about the water in the plumbing

I would suggest changing your username, but if your in PA, I guess that is acceptable.  Our temps for the next few days aren't going to be too bad.  You don't tell us, does your tub have one or two pumps? Is the pump that is going bad part of the filter systems (runs specifically automatically to provide filtering. Does it run when the tub is heating?  My old tub was this way, I turned down the amount of filtering during the time I was waiting for a pump, to a minimum.
