It’s been quite a week of repairs, and Friday didn’t let up. Big Arctic Spa and pump 3 not running. Open up the control panel to check the fuse and found the pump live a tiny bit overheated. 2.5Hp pump windings burned out, so replacement inbound for Tuesday……

Another so called 13A spa with a dangerous problem. If you have one of these type of spas, cut the plug off and get an electrician to fit a proper isolation switch.
The 13A plug method introduces an additional 6 connections that are subject to resistance. Resistance creates additional heat that with time degrades each point exacerbating the problem. The compounding failure results in the plug melting, worst case causing something else to catch fire. In addition fitting a socket to armoured is not standard practice……

More pumps, control systems and 3D printed adaptors…..
Siezed pump required replacing, however the replacement pump was slightly shorter, so the pump to heater coupling was remade along with the air bleed for the pump.
After extensive fault finding, the old control board was diagnosed as the offending component. Spa was upgraded to a new Balboa control and topside. We have 3D printed in house an adaptor plate for the topside control to be mounted on the existing larger hole. High quality ABS filament was used for longevity and higher print quality….

Booked in to service 2 spas last week that were neighbours. Unfortunately one of the spas had a siezed pump. As this is a higher cost 2 speed pump, we were back today to swap out the bad for a new one…..

Another happy customer with their jets back to full power. On investigation we found the impeller had disintegrated in the wet end of the pump, however the motor end was in great condition. The decision to swap out the “wet end” saved the customer money and got their spa back in peak performance…..

More seals that have seen better days. Heater seals are a common failure point on spas, so we change them any time we split the heater couplings. These ones were quite spongy and brittle….

Few more services done this week, but this one highlights the need for regular maintenance. Sold as a 13A spa, sounds great….. Fill up, plug in and go….. not so quick……
Although the plug/socket combination is rated for 13A, drawing this load generates heat, which over time degrades the plug/socket which makes the problem worse.
Even if fitted with a 13A plug, it’s highly advised to install an isolator switch or a 16A socket…..
