A customer reached out because her spa hadn’t been used for several months and had stopped working. Upon arrival, I quickly noticed a humming noise coming from the pump. My initial thought was that a faulty capacitor might be to blame, but a closer look revealed a much bigger issue. There was significant scale buildup around the seal of the pump’s wet end, and when I tried to turn the drive shaft manually, it was already seized. This pump was beyond repair and needed a replacement.

The root cause? An unbalanced pH level over time. High pH levels can lead to scaling, which damages pumps, heaters, and sensors. Once I organised a new pump and replaced the faulty one, the spa was up and running again in no time. Another happy customer now enjoying a fully functional spa!
