Howdy Gang and thanks for letting me join your community!

I have an older (1999) sequoia spa. The SpaPack was replaced last year with a new one (before me of course) and the yahoo's that replaced it, replaced the 4hp pump that came stock with a 2hp pump. My question for you all is... Can the controller that supplies power to the pump handle the upgraded pump or am I stuck replacing the pump / controller and for that matter... replacing the pack?

I started digging into this when the jets on the Pump 1 hardly pushed any water and didn't push any air.

My configuration:
Pump 1, 2 speed (supposed to be 4hp, currently 2hp)
Pump 2, 1 speed (4hp)
Spa pack now in there is an Acura Spa systems Power master series
Ozonator
and this does not have an Air Pump.

Joe Joe!

I can't agree with you on the 4hp/2hp deal here without a little more info:

What was the voltage and amperage ratings of the original pump?



Controllers won't really care about hp ratings, they care about amperage draw, and most don't have a problem with anything that's sold for this industry; be it 1-4.5 hp or whatever.

Thanks Pageup for the response! I'll wait for the snowstorm to pass and get onto my homework! I found some information on the Acurasystems controller, but the one I have appears to be too new for their website. Time to make some phone calls. I wasn't sure if the controllers were fairly standard and could handle most HP ratings for a common hot tub pump. I'll find some specs and report back! " title="Smile" />

They can pretty much handle everything off the shelf these days. If your acura is digital, then it's the ACC smart touch 2000 or 1000 system with their label. http://spapartsnet.com/Spa-Packs-Controls/ACC
