Why Do Hot Tub Pumps Fail?
Hot tubs, especially when exposed to extremely hot and cold weather or when not maintained regularly, undergo several mechanical failures: 1. Humming noises resulting from a frozen shaft or frozen bearings;
2. Whining noises due to badly worn bearings;
3. Failure of pump seals, leading to leaks around the hot tub pump;
4. Jammed impeller; and
5. Faulty starting capacitor. There have been many innovations that helped in making hot tubs last longer. One is a patented hot tub pump that creates a cooler working milieu. How do hot tub pumps work? Hot tub pumps work hard for several hours during the day, powering the jets at high speed and the filtration cycles at low speed. A Hot Spring spa divides the task between the powerful Wave master jet pump and the low-amp SilentFlo 5000 circulation pump. The former is dedicated to providing the most exhilarating massages by emitting a forceful flow through all the jets. With the aid of a self-regulating circulation pump, you can enjoy the soothing features and the powerful jets of your home spa, and still get sanitary heated water twenty-four hours a day. While all Hot Spring hot tubs are extremely powerful, the High-Performance models have even stronger horsepower pumps to boost additional jets and improve the performance of other accessories. Thermo Spa hot tub pumps Research shows that a hot tub's heaters are generally the first parts to give way. This is because most spa heaters are made of steel, making them exposed to corrosion and pitting that lead to several problems, such as cracking and corrosion. Thermo Spa sees to it that their heaters are of the highest quality and has even made use of one of the strongest metals known to mankind: Titanium. Some manufacturers use titanium for their heaters, but only Thermo Spa uses titanium coils and titanium surrounding jackets. This material makes the heater resistant to cracking and corrosion. If the entire heater is coated with this strong material, the apparatus becomes impervious to chlorine pitting, making Thermo Spa systems incomparably long-lasting.
