When a fault keeps coming back, you have to dig deeper.
This swim spa came in with a rather unusual problem: one of the jet motors had melted, and this wasn’t the first time it had happened.
The first thing we did was carry out a full check of the electrical system, testing everything we could. Surprisingly, all the electrics tested fine, and we couldn’t identify an obvious underlying fault.
So we replaced the jet motor, but as the spa is an American-made model, the pipework uses different-sized fittings to those we normally work with here in the UK. So, we had to source the correct fittings to connect everything properly.
Once that was sorted, we continued our investigation and found that a fuse in the main control panel had blown. Once the correct fuse was replaced, everything fired up and is now working perfectly.
Not exactly the kind of thing you'd usually call an electrician for, but it had a motor and a control system, so we were happy to take a look 😀.
