The Filtration Pump: A Crucial Part to Prevent Water Stagnation in Your Spa

A spa has undeniable therapeutic benefits due to its hot water and massage jets. However, while its water promotes relaxation, it also creates a breeding ground for bacteria, algae, and various microorganisms. That's why a well-maintained filtration system is crucial to avoid bathing in cloudy or green water.

Moreover, the circulation pump is closely linked to your spa's heater; a malfunctioning circulation pump results in a non-heating spa.

What Is the Role of the Circulation Pump in the Filtration System?

In a spa's filtration system, the circulation pump (or filtration pump) acts like a conductor ensuring the water is in constant motion.

It allows:

preventing water stagnation by drawing it into the skimmer, then into the filter to remove impurities. Afterward, it pushes the water back to the spa's heater before reintroducing it into the tub.
circulating water through the heater, activating it to heat the spa. Stagnant water hinders the heater's operation.
mixing cleaning products evenly throughout the entire spa.
automatically cleaning the filter to prevent clogging, ensuring proper water flow in the hydraulic system.

Remember to clean your filters regularly to prevent clogging and ensure proper water circulation in your spa's hydraulic system.

How Long Should You Run Your Circulation Pump Each Day?

This question requires nuanced consideration before answering.

The daily filtration duration of a spa depends on various factors:

If your spa has a small pump (between 1/15 and 1/8 HP), it's highly recommended to run the filtration system 24/7 due to their lower power and slower flow rate, requiring constant filtration.
For a more powerful pump, despite being more energy-consuming, they filter water faster. It's advisable to run them twice a day for 3 hours each time.

The daily filtration time depends on:

the spa's location (indoors or outdoors)
the level of pollution
frequency of use
water temperature - the higher it is, the more filtration is needed
your pump's power
and more.

Consider these factors to ensure your water remains crystal clear and clean.

Characteristics of a Filtration Pump (or Circulation Pump)

What Pump Power Is Suitable for a Spa?

The power of a circulation pump or a spa pump, in general, is expressed in two different ways: in HP (Horsepower) or in kW (kilowatt). As mentioned earlier, circulation pumps typically have less than 1HP, consuming less energy compared to massage pumps and sometimes can run continuously.

What Is the Speed of a Circulation Pump?

Usually, circulation pumps operate at a single speed. Since their sole function is filtration, they don't require multiple speeds.

However, some filtration pumps are dual-speed. They can fulfill both filtration and massage roles by powering the spa jets at the second speed.

How to Choose the Right Size of Circulation Pump?

Ensure to check the pump's dimensions. Opt for a compact pump if space is limited. Alternatively, if you have a technical room or more space, a larger pump can be chosen.

With an efficient circulation pump, your spa will always be ready to offer an unforgettable relaxation experience.

Diagnosing Operating Issues with Your Spa's Circulation Pump

Why Is My Spa Pump Not Working?

If your spa pump is malfunctioning, several reasons could explain the issue. It's crucial to conduct a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the problem. Here are some troubleshooting tips based on observed symptoms:

The pump runs but doesn't draw water: If the pump operates but doesn't draw water effectively, the filter might be the culprit. Check the filter's condition and replace it if needed. A clean filter ensures better water flow through the pump and is often the source of the problem, hence the recommendation to change them every two weeks.
Filling issues: If difficulties arise during spa filling, an air bubble in the piping could be the cause. To resolve this, open union fittings to purge the air from the system.
Unusual noise from the pump: Unusual pump noise may indicate an internal issue. A damaged part inside the pump is likely. In this case, seek professional assistance.
Pump doesn't start: If the pump doesn't start at all, test it directly on a power outlet. If it still doesn't start, an internal pump issue may be present, necessitating a replacement. If the pump works on the power outlet, the control unit may be faulty. In this case, seek professional help to assess, repair, or replace the defective unit.

In conclusion, diagnosing spa pump issues requires a methodical approach. If basic troubleshooting doesn't solve the problem, it's advisable to consult a qualified technician for advanced repairs or replacement of faulty parts.

How to Replace Your Spa's Circulation Pump?

If your circulation pump shows signs of weakness or is out of order, it may be time for a replacement. Follow these steps to replace it yourself without requiring a technician's intervention.

Before starting: choose the exact model
Ensure you select a replacement pump that matches your old pump's specifications, including dimensions, type, function, power, and connection diameter. First, locate the nameplate on your old pump's electric motor for necessary information like the reference and power.
Step 1: Close shut-off valves and disconnect power
Begin by closing your spa's shut-off valves before removing the old pump. This prevents draining. Then, cut off the spa's power supply and loosen the pipe connections. You can now remove the defective pump.
Step 2: Install the new pump
Position the new circulation pump in the same place as the old one. Ensure the pipe connections align. If not, you can easily adjust the piping.
Step 3: Electrical connection
To connect the new pump, ensure it has the same plug as the old one. You'll find similar colored cables that usually match. Use a connector to join them if not already done.
Step 5: Function test
After replacement, test the new pump by opening the water valves and restoring power to the spa. Ensure everything works correctly and that air has been eliminated. Once these checks are done, your new pump is operational!

By carefully following these steps, you can replace your spa pump without professional assistance. This helps maintain your spa's proper functioning and ensures efficient water circulation.

When Should You Run a Spa Pump?

Spa filtration is vital for maintaining proper hygiene. You can run your spa pump at any time of the day. However, for outdoor spas, around 8 hours of filtration per day is recommended, while indoor spas require approximately 5 hours daily. Other factors, like temperature, can also affect water filtration.

How to Bleed a Spa Pump?

Bleeding your spa pump doesn't need to be done regularly. However, when refilling your spa, air bubbles can accumulate and affect the filtration system. Simply loosen the union fittings to release the air, and you're good to go!
