I just bought a house, it had a hot tub, everything has been tickity-boo.. however, today.. the guts (pump/motor) started making a louder.. clinky.. bad sound.. then the pump that circulates all the time.. so.. now when its on, it sounds like a bearing is shot or something.. what is the first thing I should do? Is there only one pump? or more then one.. and how much are they? help me if you can! Adam

Your post is seriously lacking in information.

What brand?
What pumps do you have underneath?
How old is it?
Voltage Supply: 115 or 230?


If no ability to determine this, then post some photos of what you have under the hood.

ok here are some pictures, I didn't know what to take pictures of, so i Just went ahead and took a few.. the last picture is what is sitting underneath all of the guts.. it looks acidy or something, is this normal??

its a 1997 Shell Busey Signature series 'Concord' GPM: 85 Rating : 230 (don't know if this info means anything) it says 240V and 40AMP






and is this hose suppose to be 'off' like that???



thanks a bunch if you get this far in helping us!!
