I just got a Gatsby Spa for free... just had to move it. So I got it hooked up last night at my house and I have a couple problems and would like to know your ideas.

It has two motors....a 120v jet pump...and a 220v 2 speed heater/jet and I assume circulation pump. Well everything seems to work fine when I leave the pump for the jets on...it heats up. But, correct me if I'm wrong shouldn't there be a low speed for flow circulation/heat? It has a timer on the control box but it doesn't work...doesn't keep time. Could this be why no circulation pump or is there something else it could be.

The second problem I had is the blower for the air bubbles doesn't work...I kept thinking control box but I tore the motor apart last night and it is a solid chunk of rust :shock: I assume its a 120v and I can just buy a new one with an AMP plug on it.

Overall it seems to be in great shape...no leaks or cracks and once I get these problems figured out I'll be decking around it so I want to make sure its good before hand.

Thanks!

I would highly doubt you have multiple voltage motors. Spas normally use all the same voltage, either 120 or 240. Some spas use a circulation pump, others use the low speed jet pump. Spas with a timer usually have a bypass switch to override the timer. The blower should also be the same voltage as the pumps.
