Should we keep it,fix it or trash it. My wife and I were given an 8 foot sundance Spa, circa 1990.
One lounger seat with a large bench seat, approx 20 jets.
The person who gave it to us is a plumber and said the pump started whining so they just bought a new tub.
The pump is a Sta Rite Dura Glas H/L speed and a quick search shows it to cost about 600 to 900.00 to replace.
After sitting for 4 years under a tarp it also has some surface cracks in the bench seating area but the lounger seat as well as the rest of the tub looks good. ( I believe the cracks are superficial)
What would you do? I have the tub on a trailer and would like to diagnose any potential problems before building the deck for it.
As far as capability I am a carpenter and back yard auto mechanic.
Thanks! Donny
