Is It Time To Replace Your Jacuzzi Pump
|
Your hot tub water from the tub flows through the heating element, then through the filtration system and then back to the hot tub. It is the pump that allows this process to occur. The pump works 24/7 and thus at some point its going to get week and break down. The moving parts in the pump will begin to fail or completely quit at some point. After all moving parts do wear out. When this occurs you will need to decide whether better to replace the existing pump or just do the repairs. If you are a handy you may be able to fix the pump yourself but you have to consider whether it is cost effective to do this. If you are able to take it apart, and replace the worn parts, and then reassemble the pump you may be able to save you some money depending on what is broken. But for many of us the idea of rebuilding a pump is overwhelming and far beyond our skill level which means we would have to take it to a shop and have a professional rebuild it. Right there you are going to be in the red. You pay for repairs by the hour and sadly in our disposable world almost every time you can actually replace the entire pump for far less than it would cost in labor to have it rebuilt. If you are able to repair the pump yourself be prepared to discover after you take it apart that parts that are worn will cost more than it would to replace the entire pump. This is a common problem and it sure doesnt make sense to do a repair when a new pump will cost you less. Perhaps hang onto the old pump for spare parts? Sometimes a pump will simply pack it in and quit working but you will usually have some warning signs that your pump is about to fail. If you start to hear a whining sound that is either constant or intermittent this is a sign that your pump is getting old and that the bearings are worn. Replacing them is expensive and you will be much better off just replacing the pump with a new one. If you hear a low pitched humming sound and you are experiencing reduced water flow this means that the motor is not turning properly. Usually caused because you have a frozen shaft, seized bearings, or broken or jammed propeller. Sometimes its just plain overall wear and tear from age. If there are water puddles under the pump means that the water seals are worn away. This is actually a very easy and cheap repair that almost anyone can do so its not recommended to replace the entire pump. Replacing a pump is relatively affordable. You can find replacement pumps for as little as $100 depending on the size, style, and type of pump. They are available with either a side or center discharge tube. Be sure to match up with your original pump. Jacuzzi is a name that is known around the world and trusted for its fine quality bathtubs and whirlpool tubs that it brings to the market each yeaer.
